General

Servo motor problems can usually be traced to a few common causes: power supply issues, loose connections, overheating, feedback faults, incorrect controller settings, mechanical wear, excessive load, or environmental conditions. The most effective approach is to troubleshoot methodically, starting with

It happens to all of us.  We take our automobile in for a repair and that rattle or engine problem magically disappears. We may not look forward to spending our hard earned money on the repair, but the assurance of

Peux-tu parler plus d'une langue? Speaking multiple languages has many advantages, and the same holds true for a servo motor tester. A device that can read multiple serial protocols gives maintenance teams a faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective way

Used throughout a wide range of industries and applications, servo motors are critical in meeting performance and production targets. When one of these motors is operating at less than full capacity, or is off-line, the results can be disastrous.

Bringing servo motor repair in-house translates into reduced downtime, controlled repair costs, and the extended life of motion-control equipment throughout the factory. But setting up an effective factory-based environment requires more than a workbench and a toolbox. There are seven essential

Every minute a machine sits idle reduces output, disrupts schedules, and increases operating costs. The good news is that many of the most common causes of downtime can be prevented. By focusing on these five key areas, manufacturers can avoid unnecessary

If not diagnosed accurately and promptly, servo motor malfunctions lead to equipment downtime, lost production, and costly repairs. But is the issue electrical or mechanical? The answer comes down to recognizing key symptoms and applying a structured troubleshooting approach. Electrical problems

At Mitchell Electronics, Inc. we provide more than advanced motor test equipment. We partner with our customers to ensure success by offering the knowledge, guidance, and technical support needed to master servo motor repair, encoder diagnostics, and automated motor testing. Along

A servo motor operates using a closed-loop control system. As the motor turns, an encoder measures its position and speed, sends that data to a controller, and the controller continuously adjusts the motor’s input to match the desired output.  This real-time

Servo motor repair can be a lengthy and costly process. The longer the servo motor is out of service, the greater the impact on production – and ultimately the bottom line. If you suspect problems with a servo motor, follow
