Field Services

Field services and on-site motor analysis: online motor analysis, vibration and thermal measurements, on-site balancing and periodic maintenance.

Our field services let you measure the condition of your motors without removing them and, in most cases, without stopping production. With on-site motor analysis, vibration and thermal camera measurements, on-site balancing and periodic maintenance programmes, we help you monitor the motors in your plant before problems turn into failures.

We bring the measurement expertise of our workshop in Dilovası OSB to your site; based on the findings, we decide together whether the motor should continue to be monitored in place or be taken into the workshop.

Why does on-site motor analysis matter?

An unplanned motor failure often causes a production loss far greater than the cost of the repair. Measurements taken from a running motor reveal developing faults such as bearing damage, imbalance, misalignment, supply-related problems and overheating at an early stage. This lets you schedule the intervention for a planned shutdown and prepare spares and logistics in advance.

Services we provide on site

Online motor performance analysis

With the Baker-SKF Explorer EXP 4000, values such as voltage and current balance, power quality, loading and efficiency are measured while the motor is running. Measurement is carried out without stopping the motor and the results are reported.

Vibration analysis

Measurements taken with a vibration analyser help distinguish problems such as imbalance, misalignment, mechanical looseness and bearing damage.

Thermal camera temperature survey

The motor frame, bearing areas and cable connections are scanned to identify spots hotter than normal. Heating is the first visible sign of most faults.

On-site balancing

We carry out on-site balancing of machine parts within a given size range. On-site balancing offers advantages such as time savings, minimised production loss, no logistics costs and less need for dismantling and reassembly.

Periodic maintenance programmes

We draw up periodic maintenance programmes for critical equipment such as wastewater submersible pumps and determine maintenance needs by comparing measurement results between periods.

Which facilities is it suitable for?

On-site motor analysis delivers the greatest benefit in facilities where many motors run continuously and the stoppage of one motor affects the entire line. Mill and fan drives in cement plants, line motors in iron and steel plants, auxiliary equipment in power plants and pumping stations in treatment plants are typical examples.

Repeating measurements at regular intervals in these facilities shows how values change over time. A change in values over time reveals a developing trend that a one-off measurement cannot show.

How does a field visit work?

1. Initial discussion: The motors to be measured, critical equipment and the problems experienced are identified together with you.
2. Site visit and measurements: The planned measurements are carried out at your facility.
3. Assessment and report: Findings are reported and a recommendation is given for each motor.
4. Action plan: Options to continue monitoring, intervene on site or repair in the workshop are shared together with a quotation.

From measurement to repair

If field measurements show that a motor needs to come into the workshop, detailed winding tests are carried out through our motor testing services and the repair process begins. For rotating parts, see our industrial balancing page, and for treatment plants, our wastewater submersible pump maintenance and repair page. Our work in water and wastewater facilities is described on our water and wastewater page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to stop the motor during measurement?

Online motor analysis, vibration and thermal measurements are carried out while the motor is running. Work such as on-site balancing, however, requires a planned stoppage of the machine.

Can on-site balancing be done on any machine?

We apply on-site balancing to machine parts within a given size range. To check suitability, simply contact us with the machine details.

What do I receive at the end of the field work?

You receive a report containing the measurement results, findings and the recommended action for each motor.

How are field services priced?

The price is stated in the quotation according to the number of motors to be measured, the measurements to be applied and the location of the facility.
