Regular maintenance can help keep your operation's DC motors running for years to come with minimal problems.  To keep up with maintenance, develop a "motor check up" schedule.  The "check up" can be a routine to inspect springs and brushes, inspect the bearings to see if there are signs of wear, clean any residue from the motor, run the motor for a while and listen for any strange noises, and also test for accurate spring tension.   And don't forget to check the motor occasionally to be sure there is no overheating during operation.  

Taking these simple steps can save years for your motor as well as dollars.  So start implementing a regular maintenance schedule for all the DC motors in your plant or facility right away to realize the benefits.
