Your Equipment Is Moving in Ways You Can't See Every piece of rotating equipment in your facility vibrates. That's not a defect — it's physics. Motors vibrate. Pumps vibrate. Fans, compressors, gearboxes — they all produce some level of mechanical vibration during normal operation. The challenge has always been distinguishing normal vibration from the kind that signals a developing problem, and then pinpointing exactly where the problem is coming from. Traditional vibration a

The Maintenance Model Most Facilities Still Use Is Broken For decades, industrial maintenance has followed one of two paths: reactive or preventive. Reactive maintenance waits until something breaks, then scrambles to fix it. Preventive maintenance follows a calendar schedule, replacing parts and performing service at fixed intervals regardless of actual equipment condition. Both approaches leave money on the table, and both leave facilities vulnerable to the one thing no ope

What if you could cut your electric motor energy costs by 20% to 50% with a single upgrade? For many California businesses, that's exactly what a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) delivers. With California's electricity rates among the highest in the nation, VFDs have become one of the smartest investments an industrial facility can make. What Is a Variable Frequency Drive? A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic device that controls the speed of an AC electric motor b

Unplanned equipment downtime costs industrial facilities an estimated $50 billion per year across the United States. For California manufacturers, agricultural operations, and water treatment facilities, a single electric motor failure can halt production for hours or even days. The good news is that most motor failures don't happen without warning. Here are five signs that your electric motor needs immediate professional attention. 1. Unusual Vibration or Noise A healthy ele

Your production line just ground to a halt. The electric motor driving your critical equipment has failed, and every minute of downtime is costing your business money. You're facing a decision that thousands of California manufacturers, agricultural operations, and water districts face every year: should you repair this motor or replace it entirely? At Ace Electric Motor & Pump Co., we've been helping Central Valley businesses make this exact decision since 1952. After more t
