Guide To Finding The Right Electric Motor Supply Company

By Ladonna Chambers


Having a reputable, affordable and reliable electric motor supply can help a company to reach very high levels of efficiency that few companies get to enjoy. It can also help to reduce losses associated with lengthy down-times due to breakdowns. While only a few suppliers can deliver on the expectations of clients, most of them often make promises they cannot honor.

There are many types of motors in any given industry. While most of them are 3-phase, they all have different specifications. For instance, the amount of current they draw, their power output and speed differ greatly. The right supplier should be able to supply all the motors that have been installed in the production line, and do so in a timely manner.

Some procurement officers normally work with some suppliers to ensure that the company pays an inflated price for supplies. The only beneficiaries are themselves; the company suffers. For this reason, engineers and production managers should always be allowed to counter check prices to ensure that they are not inflated. Only companies that have a good reputation should be contracted.

Some special motors have additional components. For instance, encoders and brakes may be needed in motors that need to run at varying speeds. Gears may also be necessary in processes where the speed of the motor is too high or too low. Gears can also be used for coupling with no other special function. When looking for a supplier, consider giving special consideration to firms that can provide all the auxiliary components that motors may need.

Where necessary, the supplier should deliver motors with their respective starter units. The push buttons and contactor relays are normally housed in a metallic box. If this does not already exist, the supplier should be able to provide it. Common starter mechanisms include Direct-On-Line, Forward-Reverse and Start-Delta. These three arrangements should be available depending on the application of the motors.

Most companies that supply motors nowadays also sell protective devices for the motors. If none exists in the industry, you may want to get it from the same supplier as this may be cheaper. Most companies normally offer great discounts to firms that get all the relevant supplies from them.

Cost is one of the most important factors to consider when looking for a motor supplier. The main objective of venturing into business is to make a profit. This can be achieved by either increasing sales or cutting down on expenses. By getting your supplies at pocket friendly prices, you will be able to achieve the latter, thereby increasing the bottom line of your company.

An electric motor supply company, apart from being reliable and affordable, should also be dealing in genuine motors. Ideally, you should give priority to companies that have been supplying motors to industries for many years. The reputation of a company can be established with a simple internet search.
