Manufacturers know it all too well: the dreaded sound of silence. Even minimal machine downtime, whether planned or unplanned, negatively affects output, operational efficiency, revenue, and customer satisfaction. Here are five practical ways that you can keep those machines running

Delivering the Highest Return on Your Servo Motor Investment While training and support might be an afterthought for some companies, at Mitchell Electronics, Inc. we recognize the value it provides to our customers. Training is an investment in your people, equipment,

If you know the first thing about servo motors, then you don’t need to be told that servo motor encoders are responsible for position, speed, and direction. Without the encoder, the motor would lack precise control and would only be

Encoders are one of the most important components in a servo motor application enabling a control system to function properly. We are familiar with many control systems such as how bicyclists use their eyes to adjust their speed or direction,

Servo motors, like any mechanical equipment, require periodic checks and servicing to ensure they function correctly. Regularly scheduled maintenance not only prolongs the life of the servo motor but also enhances its efficiency and reliability. This involves cleaning the motor

It’s no secret that regular servo motor maintenance will significantly extend the life of your motors, reduce downtime, and improve overall productivity. And for manufacturers with the ability to perform (at least basic) repairs, this saves both time and money.  However,

Servicing your servo motor is essential to ensuring its optimal performance and prolonging its lifespan. However, care should be taken during disassembly, servicing, and reassembly to avoid misalignment of the feedback device. Encoders, resolvers, and Hall effect sensors provide feedback on

Diagnosing servo motor issues can be challenging, especially when determining whether the issue lies within the electrical system or the mechanical components. Malfunctions lead to production downtime and costly repairs if not diagnosed accurately and promptly.  Therefore, understanding the distinction between

It happens to all of us.  We take our automobile in for a repair and that rattle or engine problem magically disappears. We may not look forward to spending our hard earned money on the repair, but the assurance of

Like any mechanical or electrical device, servo motors can encounter problems from time to time. Regular maintenance of your servo motors will help to avoid many issues. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and routine inspections to catch potential issues before they
