GMR Electric Motors Ltd. recently acquired the new PDMA MCEmax, which is the most comprehensive and powerful electric motor predictive maintenance system available. It is used for quality assurance applications, trend analysis and diagnostic evolutions. The MCEmax is capable of both on-line and offline testing and provides detailed and accurate reporting on the condition of the motor and power quality.

Dynamometer Load Test Center
We are proud to announce our latest equipment addition; a state of the art 1000 HP Dynamometer load test facility. Motors are mounted on a 7 foot by 14 foot isolated precision pad and powered by our in house power generation system that allows us to access infinitely variable voltage from 0 volts to 14,400 volts. This Dynamometer can simulate actual motor variable load conditions and measures horsepower and torque, as well as efficiency. From a sound proof control room we monitor all temperatures, RTD's, and vibration and provide a complete and comprehensive printout. Read outs include voltage, amperage, torque, horse power, efficiency, as well as bearing temperature and winding temperature. This guarantees motor performance and maintained efficiency ratings. We have also added a new DC Drive system for full load testing of DC motors.


Dynamics Research is a market leader in balancing technology. The computerized model 610 takes all the guess work out of the balancing procedure making it possible to balance in two planes in just a few runs. The Dynamics Research instrumentation prints complete reports showing the exact unbalance as received, the balancing speed, the operator, the job number and the final balance attained. Model 610 can support weights from 50 to 15,000 Lbs with the capabilities to balance almost anything that comes at it. This equipment ensures that precise, complete, accurate balancing every time.


Vacuum Pressure Impregnation is a process that is a step above the conventional vacuum system. VPI includes pressure in addition to vacuum, thus assuring good penetration of the varnish in the coil. The result is improved mechanical strength, electrical properties and thermal performance. This means improved heat transfer by eliminating air/gas pockets and makes it impossible for moisture or other contamination to degrade the system. The solid void-free structure reduces the possibility of internal corona damage on high-voltage machines. VPI minimizes coil movement, slots are completely filled, and by the use of suitable fibers laminated structures and bracing materials a solid reinforced end winding structure is obtained. This ensures improved reliability and long service life. The core wire is completely filled and sealed. This eliminates problems due to loose cores and provides positive protection against migration of moisture and other contamination through the core.
