Although we are known for the quality of our repairs, cleaning servo motors is another vital part of our work. The cleaning – critical for maintaining performance and longevity – removes dust, dirt, and contaminants, the main causes of premature motor failure. Removing oil, debris, and foreign particles prevents abrasion and corrosion that can damage sensitive internal components. Our image shows a magnetic rotor contaminated with brake dust after years of service. It will be

Seth, an apprentice with Quality Servo Motor Repairs What are the training needs of apprentices in your business? The Association of Electrical and Mechanical Trades would like to know. It is formulating a programme that will train people how to fix machines, instead of writing reports about a job, with few to no practical elements. The AEMT needs our help to gather data and take it to the next step. We all have our thoughts on the quality of training, and there's a chance t

Innovative repair techniques devised by our firm's founder are helping to extend the life of servo motors in the glass industry. Ralph Southworth was an engineer of exceptional foresight and his choice of metal to seal repaired motors from contaminants, and the replacement of damaged shafts with new ones, are just two of the techniques valued by customers. We also balance motors to the demanding tolerances of 1G and finally test them with feedback. In the unlikely event of on

Quality Servomotor Repairs is delighted to have secured a place in the finals of the 2025 AEMT annual awards. Our company, part of the Westin Engineering Group, has been nominated for Service Centre of the Year. The AEMT says: 'The judging panel, which included independent experts, press representatives and our sponsoring companies, spent a great deal of time analysing, discussing, and scoring every entry, to deliver the shortlist. 'So, a huge congratulations for making it th

Some of our forward thinking customers ask to have their servo motors reconditioned before any failures occur. Take these two which arrived for a scheduled overhaul. As part of our standard process, each was fully stripped, cleaned, inspected, and tested. One needed a replacement fan, a common issue we’re well-equipped to handle. Servo motors, like other electro-mechanical components, suffer wear over time, but are often overlooked due to their complexity. Planned maintenance
