Don’t wait for a failure to happen; be proactive about lubrication.
Energy efficiency and operational improvements in motors and drives management can power significant long-term cost savings. Consider these stats:
Up to 18%
Reduction in total spend with energy-efficient electric motor best practices
97%
of the total cost of ownership of a motor is electricity cost consumed in the motor’s life cycle
15 to 30%
decrease in engery consumption by reducing conveyor line friction

How CB helps businesses succeed
Add certainty to your operations with CB’s services, and expertise to your motors and drives management. Here are just some of the ways we can support your operations:
Inventory Management
Reduce stock, minimize obsolescence and avoid downtime. And don’t let limited space or budget constraints keep you from access to spare motors; CB has your back. Our service starts with a Motor Survey, Data Service and CMMS Data Collection.
Repair vs. Replace
Lean on CB’s expertise to answer the tough question of whether you should repair or replace a motor or a drive. We evaluate age, cost, energy efficiency, replacement parts, condition and more to create the right plan for your operations. 
VFDs & Controls
Smooth voltage and lower power needs with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), which provide greater control over speed and torque. Integrating VFDs into motors can drive energy cost savings and reduce maintenance costs. 
Power Factor Correction
Reduce your energy bill, increase available power, decrease the frequency of voltage dips and power losses, and increase flexibility with power factor correction. 
Condition-Based
Monitoring System
Increase reliability and decrease downtime with a real-time look into equipment performance. We’ll monitor your motors and drives and alert you to attend to a forthcoming problem. 
Power Distribution Equipment Upgrade
Protect your motors from damage, increase capacity, improve energy efficiency and enhance monitor performance with upgraded power distribution systems. The result: increased productivity and reduced downtime. Take the first step to optimization with a no-risk motor and drives management assessment
CB starts by documenting:
- Motor nameplates in service and in stock
- Drives applications
- Decision process for repair vs. purchase
- Purchasing process
- Storage system and practices
- Inventory control system
- Asset tracking
- Spend by category
- Usage by SKU and manufacturer
Our experts will provide a recommendation based on our audit, including your estimated cost savings. Upon approval, we’ll get to work. Our goal is to develop an ongoing partnership committed to continuous improvement in your organization.
