Synchronous motor service at SPEC SERWIS is comprehensive drive support in industrial plants – from fault diagnosis, through inspections and repairs, to modernisation and integration with frequency inverters. We make sure that every synchronous motor operates stably, energy-efficiently and in line with the requirements of the production line.
Synchronous motor service for demanding applications
Synchronous motors are particularly popular in energy-intensive applications – in intralogistics (parcel sorting centres, airports), conveyors, pumps and fans, wherever high efficiency and precise speed control matter.
SPEC SERWIS specialises in servicing such drives, with particular focus on NORD DRIVESYSTEMS solutions and other renowned manufacturers.
As part of our synchronous motor service we support both individual drive units and entire drive systems operating in critical production and logistics processes. Thanks to our knowledge of manufacturers' operating documentation and quality standards, we are able to quickly identify the cause of a fault and plan effective service actions.
Diagnostics, inspections and repairs of synchronous motors
A synchronous motor, unlike an asynchronous motor, maintains its speed regardless of load, which places higher demands on service and setting precision.
SPEC SERWIS carries out a full package of workshop and service work, including:
- detailed diagnosis of the motor condition (electrical measurements, checking of windings, mechanical components, sensors, brakes),
- regular checks and repairs of synchronous motors, including replacement of bearings, seals and connecting elements, as well as checking of cooling and lubrication systems.
At the customer's request we also perform:
- an assessment of the profitability of repair versus motor replacement,
- preparation of modernisation recommendations (e.g. changing the efficiency class, selecting the right frequency inverter, selecting accessories),
- support with commissioning after repair, including checking operating parameters under load.
Our goal is not only to restore drive operation, but also to reduce the risk of further downtime by identifying the causes of failures (installation errors, overloads, improper lubrication, incorrect operation).
On-site service at the customer's plant and fast response to failures
In many plants, dismantling a synchronous motor means serious downtime. That is why SPEC SERWIS offers an extensive field service – on-site services at the customer's plant, covering:
- initial inspections and regular checks of drives,
- preliminary assessment of the motor and installation condition,
- fault location (e.g. overheating, noise, vibration, starting problems),
- replacement of selected components on site, without the need to send the motor to the workshop, where working conditions allow.
In the event of a serious failure, we organise the dismantling and transport of drive units to our service facility. Thanks to direct access to original spare parts from the NORD drives manufacturer in Nowa Sól and the SPEC SERWIS emergency service, we can respond in a very short time, which genuinely reduces the cost of production line downtime.
Integration with frequency inverters and drive electronics
Synchronous motors very often work with frequency inverters, which allow precise control of speed and torque. SPEC SERWIS handles the installation and parameterisation (programming) of NORD DRIVESYSTEMS frequency inverters and motor starters, both in control cabinet versions and in decentralised designs.
In practice this means that within a single order we can:
- check and service the synchronous motor itself,
- verify the correctness of the selection and settings of the frequency inverter,
- adjust the parameters so that the drive operates with optimal efficiency and proper motor protection.
Such an approach – mechanical and electrical service in one place – shortens diagnosis time and avoids shifting responsibility between different contractors.
Why entrust synchronous motor service to SPEC SERWIS?
SPEC SERWIS is a team with many years of experience in the drive industry, including over 10 years of installation and service practice directly at the NORD manufacturer, as well as access to current quality standards and documentation.
What sets us apart?
Excellent knowledge of synchronous motor construction and the associated drive systems.
Use of original or quality-equivalent spare parts matched to the given drive series.
Service compliant with the manufacturer's requirements and safety regulations (including for lines with high hygiene requirements or operating in continuous mode).
We clearly define the scope of services, solution selection criteria and benefits for the user.
If, in addition to synchronous motors, your installation also includes geared motors, frequency inverters or industrial gear units, SPEC SERWIS can take care of the comprehensive servicing of the entire drive system – from inspections, through repairs, to oil changes in gear units and checking of operating parameters.
Contact us to discuss the specific synchronous motors in your installation – we will prepare a service proposal tailored to the working conditions, production schedule and maintenance budget.
FAQs – Synchronous motor service
Below we have gathered answers to the most frequently asked questions about synchronous motor service at SPEC SERWIS. This makes it easier to plan inspections and repairs and to reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
What symptoms indicate that a synchronous motor requires service?
Worrying signals are above all increased noise and vibration, overheating of the frame, torque drops, starting problems and frequent tripping of protective devices. In synchronous motors, even small deviations from nominal parameters can quickly lead to a more serious failure, so it is worth reacting at an early stage.
Do you carry out synchronous motor service on site or only in the workshop?
SPEC SERWIS provides both field and workshop service. Much diagnostic, adjustment and minor repair work can be carried out at the customer's site, reducing the need for dismantling. In the case of more serious damage, we organise transport of the motor to our service facility and, once the repair is complete, help with its re-installation and commissioning.
How often should synchronous motor inspections be carried out?
The frequency of inspections depends on the working conditions (load, temperature, dust, humidity) and the recommendations of the manufacturer of the specific motor series. In practice, for synchronous motors operating continuously in critical applications, regular periodic checks and condition monitoring (e.g. vibration and temperature measurements, visual inspection) are recommended in accordance with the drive manufacturer's operating documentation.
As part of the service, can you also configure the frequency inverter working with the synchronous motor?
Yes. SPEC SERWIS handles the installation and parameterisation of NORD DRIVESYSTEMS frequency inverters and motor starters, including in systems with synchronous motors. Within a single order we can therefore check the motor condition, verify the inverter settings (e.g. motor parameters, acceleration and braking ramps, protections) and adapt them to the real working conditions of the installation.
