A motor repair can look complete and still fail again within months. Bearings get replaced, windings pass their tests, the motor runs, and it goes back into service. Then it comes back with the same failure, and the shop has to explain why a repair that seemed thorough didn’t hold up. This isn’t usually caused

A motor repaired recently can still fail again, and the reason often has nothing to do with the repair itself. On VFD motors, electrical currents build up on the shaft as the motor runs and discharge through the bearing, wearing it down in a pattern no visual inspection catches until the damage is already done. 

We’re excited to announce that AAKI will be at the 2026 EASA Convention this June in Orlando, Florida. After an incredible time in Nashville last year, we’re even more eager to be back among the best minds in the electrical and mechanical service industry. From June 13–16, you’ll find our team at Booth 1216, ready

Quality Electric Motor Rebuilders (QEMR), based in Barrie Ontario, Canada, has been providing motor expertise and quality repairs to industry both locally and throughout North America. But something in the air was changing, and it was costing his loyal customers thousands of dollars in unexpected repair bills and lost time. The industry had welcomed this

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) refers to systems that deliver heating and cooling for comfort in both commercial and residential properties. These systems use electric motors that respond to fluctuating heating and cooling requirements in buildings, including compressors, fans, and water pumps. The HVAC industry incorporates a wide range of businesses, from small family-run

The development of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) began as a means to provide basic speed control for AC motors. Over time, technological advancements have made modern VFDs more compact, cost-effective, and user-friendly. These devices allow for precise adjustments to motor speed and torque to meet specific system requirements, resulting in enhanced operational efficiency and energy

When it comes to protecting induction motors from electrical discharge machining (EDM) damage, motor shaft grounding modules (MSGMs) are indispensable. However, beyond the initial purchase price, the true value of an MSGM lies in its total cost of ownership (TCO), which includes installation, maintenance, and overall performance. Aaki’s MSGMs offer a significant advantage with their
