The benefits of selective electroplating in electric motors
Summary
This precision maintains the original dimensions and tolerances, crucial for electric motor repair where deviations can affect performance and efficiency. Selective electroplating conserves materials, reduces costs, and ensures the repaired components meet or exceed their original specifications. This process can restore worn or corroded contact areas to factory-like condition, enhancing electrical conductivity and protecting against damage in harsh environments. Despite concerns about the use of chemicals labelled as hazardous, selective electroplating is safe, requiring standard personal protective equipment and a sensible approach to health and safety. Addressing the industry’s skills gap, SIFCO ASC also offers re-education courses for facilities needing to train new operators.
