Commutator Repair
Commutator Repair
(OP)
Dear Expert
We have one DC motor witch´s commutator has been reground many times and now it is too thin (picture attached)
What is the usual way of repairing this?
Can we buy a new commutator and replace the damage one?
Any help will be appreciate

RE: Commutator Repair
the only way is buying and installation of a new commutator . Good workshop should be to do it but there is a risk that must be rewound rotor winding .
Good luck
RE: Commutator Repair
I asked the motor´s manufacturer to send a quotation for a new commutator and I found a local workshop that can do the installation

We are in Paraguay
I have got a quote from a Argentinian commutator supplier, and yes. The commutator alone costs more than a new armature
