All repairs on servo motors, pumps, spindles, and servo drive amplifiers carry a one year limited warranty. We understand that you might not use your newly refurbished servo motor or servo drive amplifier after receiving it back from Potomac Electric, so our warranty is flexible and will usually cover this.

Our standard turnaround time for repair is two weeks. The Expedite Service will ensure your motor is repaired right away and returned to you within a few days (normally 2-3). This service is 25% more than a regular repair cost to cover overtime and rush charges.

Yes, the evaluation fee is $85. However this charge is discounted if you choose to have your servo motor or drive amplifier repaired or purchase a new motor from Potomac Electric. The reason for this fee is to pay for the technician's time as they spend 1-2 hours disassembling and testing the unit. Other companies might advertise no evaluation fee, but build it into the cost later on. With Potomac Electric you will always know the truth up front; there are no hidden fees.

The cost of parts varies with complexity and size. Although we have a few set prices for some servo motors and drive amplifiers, these prices may vary with the cost of materials or availability of parts. Please keep in mind that Potomac Electric always provides a fair price for service and the quality of service that you deserve.

To find out the cost to repair your servo motor, drive amplifier or other part, please contact our Sales Department by phone at (617) 364-0400 or Request a Quote Online.

In the area of motors and other mechanical parts, we are fortunate to have the full support from our Manufacturing Division, Design Engineering, and Machine Shop. You can view the partial list of brands Potomac Electric has refurbished over the years. We are always learning! However, we do not walk on water and sometimes cannot repair the unit. In those cases, Technical Support will assist you in finding the solution, including suggesting a substitution. For Servoamplifiers, Variable Speed Drives, and Power Supplies, please contact Technical Support. If we have developed documentation for the product, just send it in.

Both the Repair Operations and Manufacturing Division follow ISO9001 standards. Although not certified, we update and maintain an ISO Quality System. We maintain records of product serial numbers to make it easier to determine the history of repairs.
