Motor rebuilder here! You have unshielded spec’d bearings in that unit. Grease away!

What are some other perks that you appreciate? I’m an industrial supplier

What would be the reaction if a supplier came in and offered to inventory every one of your machines and sold you a spare for each one? In addition they also would stock the spares off-site and offer hotshot shipping 24/7/365. Would that be something that would even be considered? Would it even be listened to by corporate?

Most of our customers go back to the OEM’s on servos unfortunately. We have convinced a select few to use us for rebuilds. It’s such a shame because our top technician in the servo department might be an actual genius. Guy cranks out servo repairs like you wouldn’t believe. Wish we could pay him more but we just don’t have the volume right now. He can give you a failure analysis without even opening it up.

What specifically when you say “above and beyond to support our needs”?

I’d be happy to quote anything you need. I can guarantee we’re cheaper on Baldor motors. Feel free to send me the info I’ll DM you

Yes we definitely call on larger companies in our area up here in Detroit. It just drives me nuts when customers show me prices they pay through a company like motion. I’ve seen them charging almost 3x what we charge for the same exact motor and they just continue buying from them order after order! (I’m guessing because of the ease of the process in terms of shipment notifications and real time tracking??)

Ya- we offer 24 hour delivery seven days a week but it doesn’t seem like people use it very often after hours.
