Custom-Engineered DC Motor for Cable Production Line

While DC motors are being increasingly phased out in favor of AC motor + drive combinations, there are still critical cases where a DC motor is the only viable solution—especially in legacy industrial systems where full redesign isn’t practical.

In this recent case, a customer needed a direct replacement DC motor for a cable production machine, ensuring full compatibility with the existing setup and controls. Using our reverse engineering capabilities, we designed a motor that matched all electrical characteristics, mechanical interfaces, and operational constraints of the original unit.

A custom tachogenerator was integrated into the design to ensure proper speed feedback—preserving the system’s control architecture while upgrading reliability.

Highlights:

• Reverse-engineered DC motor

• Custom-designed tacho integration

• Application: Cable production line

• Purpose: Drop-in replacement, extending machine life

Whether for vintage machinery, critical process continuity, or specialist applications, we continue to support DC motor needs with precision, care, and full engineering backup.
