INDUSTRIAL MOTORS • SERVO TECHNOLOGY • GLOBAL PROCUREMENT

Procurement of Electric Motors, AC/DC Motors and Servomotors

When a motor in a production facility fails and no direct replacement is available, maintenance teams face immense time pressure. Especially with legacy equipment or discontinued drive technology, electric motors procurement for AC/DC motors and servomotors is challenging.

retrofit GmbH assists manufacturing companies with the qualified procurement of electric motors, technical availability verification, and worldwide sourcing of exact-fit retrofit drives and drive systems. Our objective is to minimize downtime and prevent expensive machinery re-engineering. If your existing motor is still intact and can be overhauled in our testing laboratory, we alternatively offer our professional industrial motor repair.

Maximum performance, minimum downtime

Industrial Motor Procurement: Replacement for Production-Critical Drives

Electric motors and servomotors drive robot axes, conveyor belts, pumps, and machine tools. When asking which suppliers provide industrial electric motors or exact replacements, retrofit GmbH offers manufacturer-independent support. We procure matching drives for your existing machinery environment.

An identical industrial replacement motor prevents integration issues and preserves your existing retrofit electric motors.

The Challenges of Replacement Purchases

Your Benefits Sourcing via retrofit GmbH

Safety & quality testing

Used Motors: Why Inspection and Caution Are Crucial

Used industrial motors offer an economical opportunity when new parts are sold out. However, untested used motors from auction portals carry risks: Hidden winding shorts, bearing play, or misaligned encoders cause short circuits upon power-up. As an experienced industrial motor refurbisher in Germany, we place the highest priority on quality.

Obsolescence Sourcing

Procurement of unused New Old Stock motors (NOS) and tested exchange motors.

Electrical & Mechanical Inspection

Measurement of winding resistance, insulation integrity, bearing clearance, and signal testing for retrofit motor encoders, resolvers, and feedback units.

Verified Delivery

Only verified and functionally tested replacement motors are shipped to your facility.

Do you need a suitable frequency converter or servo drive in addition to the motor? Take advantage of our frequency converter procurement service.

Global Procurement for Industrial Drive Systems

International Sourcing for Discontinued Drives

When a retrofit motor is unavailable on the European market, our global procurement network opens new pathways. We source electric motors, servomotors, AC/DC drives, and encoder modules internationally.

Important Info at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Motor Procurement

Can discontinued electric motors or servomotors still be procured?

Yes. Through our global sourcing network, we procure discontinued electric motors, servomotors, and spare parts as unused New Old Stock (NOS) or tested replacement motors.

Yes. We frequently access unused, factory-sealed surplus inventory (NOS) from warehouse liquidations that are no longer listed by the OEM.

Untested used motors frequently feature hidden winding shorts, worn bearings, or misaligned encoders. Upon power-up, these can cause short circuits and damage surrounding frequency inverters.

Most important are the details from the nameplate (manufacturer, model designation, rated current, RPM, flange dimensions) as well as specifics regarding installed encoders or brakes.

If an identical replacement motor is unavailable, we offer professional industrial motor repair for your defective motor as a reliable alternative.

Are you looking for a discontinued electric motor, a hard-to-find servomotor, or a tested replacement unit for your plant? Avoid lengthy downtime and have your retrofit drives sourced safely and globally by the experts at retrofit GmbH!
