DC electric motor parts are integral to many aerial work platform operations. Electric scissor lifts, articulating and telescopic boom lifts, and vertical mast lifts often use DC motors to power mechanisms for driving and lift functionality. Consequently, worn or damaged DC electric motor parts need quick replacement with quality parts to ensure that aerial lifts run smoothly. This guide explores the functions and benefits of DC electric motors, as well as finding quality replacement electric motor parts and components.
Maintaining DC Electric Motor Parts
From bearings and terminal connections to motor controllers and brush features, some DC electric motor parts may need replacement regularly. Conversely, others may need more periodic replacement related to wear or damage over time. Routine inspections are critical for identifying and remedying issues as quickly as possible in order to avoid more serious damage to the machine or safety concerns during operation. In conjunction with regular maintenance, they can also help ensure your aerial lift’s lifespan and reliable performance. Be attentive to the following signs, which may indicate that it’s time for replacement motor parts.
- Unusual grinding and vibrations as well as overheating and burning smells
- Extremely worn commutators or brushes (if present) reduced to less than 40% of their original size or that show chips or burns
- Deterioration to insulation
In addition to repairing aerial lifts using replacement DC electric motor parts, the entire motor sometimes needs to be replaced. For example, changes to typical speeds or power output, as well as more frequent repair or part replacement and age/run time, may indicate that its time for some replacement electric motor parts.
Benefits of DC Electric Motors for AWPs
In general, electric aerial lifts are a more environmentally-friendly alternative to other fuel sources for aerial work platforms. Specific to their use in aerial lifts, DC electric motors offer a number of benefits, especially in indoor scenarios. In addition to precise speed management and responsive directional control, these motors are typically more energy-efficient, which means longer work time prior to charging. They also lend themselves to more compact designs, so lifts may be more versatile and maneuverable. Finally, DC electric motor parts are low noise and often have no emissions.
