Keeping critical equipment running safely and reliably is essential for any business that depends on machinery. At North Georgia Electrical Services, we know that even a small mechanical or electrical issue can bring production to a halt. On this project, our team was called in to troubleshoot an overload problem on a piece of equipment that was repeatedly shutting down and threatening to disrupt operations.
After a detailed inspection, we traced the issue to a faulty top roller bearing that was creating excessive mechanical resistance and causing the motor to overload. Left unaddressed, this kind of problem can lead to unexpected downtime, premature motor failure, and costly repairs.
Our technicians specialize in complex machinery troubleshooting that bridges both electrical and mechanical systems. For this job, we:
Performed a thorough evaluation of the machine’s electrical load and operating conditions
Checked overload protection, wiring connections, and control circuits
Inspected mechanical components, including rollers and bearings
Identified the failing top roller bearing as the root cause of the overload condition
Coordinated replacement and realignment to restore smooth operation
By quickly pinpointing the issue and correcting it, we helped our client avoid extended shutdowns, production delays, and potential equipment damage.
Whether it’s a manufacturing line, commercial machine, or specialized equipment, problems often start small and grow over time. Our team focuses on early diagnosis and preventative maintenance, helping businesses:
Minimize unplanned outages
Reduce repair costs and parts failures
Extend equipment lifespan
Maintain consistent productivity and safety
From diagnosing electrical faults, overload trips, and control panel issues to ensuring that mechanical components aren’t over-stressing motors, we take a full-system approach to keeping your equipment running at peak performance.
