Round-the-clock service for a range of geared motors and couplings has been introduced by Siemens Mechanical Drives.

After a recent factory relocation to Leeds, the company now offers 24-hour service facilities for the well-established Motox range of geared motors in up to size 148, along with Flender couplings.

Siemens service manager Gary Husband said the improved service had been welcomed by customers, eg. in the food/beverage industry, where production line breakdowns meant expensive losses and fast service turnaround was essential:
“Being able to supply our Motox units to Siemens customers in a range of sizes means we can provide an improved out-of-hours service. We can build units to precise requirements 24 hours a day.”

Most common gear unit sizes are covered under the scheme, from 38 up to 148. Geared motors can be inline, right-angled or shaft-mounted with torques up to 10,000Nm.
