Mechanical interface
Shaft diameter, keyway or plain shaft, shaft seal, flange, centering diameter and mounting orientation are recorded together.
A servo motor can fit the flange and still be wrong for the axis. Litco reviews the complete motor code, mechanical interface, feedback, brake and failure history before recommending repair or a shelf replacement.

Configuration-aware intake
Frame size is only the beginning. Winding, nominal speed, cooling, encoder or tachometer feedback, shaft style, centering diameter, holding brake and connector direction can all change within one motor family. Preserving those details helps prevent a repaired motor—or a replacement—from returning with the wrong interface.
Send the full nameplate and photographs before the unit leaves the machine when possible. A view of the installed coupling, cable orientation and surrounding clearance can answer questions that are difficult to reconstruct after removal.
What changes the recommendation
Shaft diameter, keyway or plain shaft, shaft seal, flange, centering diameter and mounting orientation are recorded together.
The original encoder, resolver or tachometer arrangement must agree with the drive and the machine’s position or speed loop.
Holding-brake presence, brake rating and natural or forced cooling can distinguish otherwise similar motors.
Noise, heat, contamination, shaft play, feedback faults and the sequence that stopped the axis help define the evaluation scope.
Before removal or shipment
Keep every suffix, material number and revision readable; do not crop the edges of the plate.
Show the coupling, flange, cable exits, blower and any tight-clearance condition around the motor.
Use suitable covers and packaging so transport damage does not hide the original failure or create a new one.
Include the machine builder, model, axis, drive type, fault message and what happened immediately before shutdown.
Only qualified personnel should remove or work around industrial electrical and motion-control equipment. Follow the machine builder’s safety, lockout and stored-energy procedures.

What the first review can establish
Litco can review the failed motor and explain the practical scope before work is authorized.
The complete code is compared with current inventory; availability, condition and configuration are confirmed at inquiry time.
When a compatible unit is available, Litco can compare an exchange path with repair and outright replacement.
Call 210-680-9570 or email sales@litcoautomation.com. Scope, timing, price and availability are confirmed before authorization.
