Electric motors are the heartbeat of modern industrial automation—but even the most robust units aren’t immune to failure. For distributors and resellers supporting sectors like mining, oil & gas, and food processing, understanding motor failures is critical to delivering timely, effective solutions. VJ Pamensky (WEG Canada) has a strong track record of supplying high-performance electric motors, and with the right insight, you can help customers minimize downtime and extend equipment lifespan.
Overheating
Bearing Failure
Insulation Breakdown
These failures account for over 43% of electric motor issues across industrial applications.
Preventable issues like dirt ingress, lack of lubrication and infrequent inspection accelerate motor wear. For customers relying on continuous operations, a single motor failure can cost hours of productivity. Resellers and automation distributors play a crucial role by recommending proactive solutions such as scheduled maintenance plans, proper storage and environmental protection kits.
Providing value-added guidance like this can strengthen customer trust and reduce return claims.
Distributors serve as frontline problem-solvers, helping clients source the right electric motors and offering technical support on issues like performance optimization and energy efficiency.
