Diagnostic Services
Onsite Technical Services (OTS)
Predictive maintenance can help you avoid catastrophic failures and reduce unexpected downtime by identifying machines near failure or by monitoring a machine's changes over time. Whether it’s a large or small industrial motor or
generator, a gearbox that is exhibiting symptoms of failure, or a control system that’s malfunctioning, our OTS team can
evaluate the problem and determine if it can be repaired on-site.

Vibration Trending & Analysis
Vibration analysis and trending is a method of evaluating current machine condition and monitoring a machine’s changes over a period of time. It can also be used to pinpoint a source of several problems such as misalignment, imbalance and bearing issues. Vibration trending and analysis can be performed on all rotating equipment.
Benefits of Vibration Trending and Analysis
- Diagnose imbalance and misalignment
- Discover bearing issues
- Applicable on any rotating equipment
- Improve equipment reliability and uptime
- Prevent catastrophic failure
- Improve machine safety levels
Applications for Vibration Trending and Analysis
- Small to Large Industrial Motors and Generators
- Pumps
- Air handlers
- Fans
- Gearboxes
- Driven machines
Infrared Thermography
Infrared thermography can provide significant warning of potential problems with critical equipment before catastrophic failure. With infrared thermography you can identify overheating electrical connections and other machine components, scheduling repairs to be made during planned downtime.
Benefits of Infrared Thermography
- Reduce unscheduled downtime
- Detect problems quickly
- Assess priorities for corrective action
- Reduce catastrophic failure of equipment
Applications for Infrared Thermography
- Power distribution and control cabinets
- Building envelopes & structures
- Electric motor conduit box & frame temperature
- Mechanical bearing inspections
- Electrical systems
- Process problems due to heat loss
Online Motor Testing
This in-service motor analyzer takes the next step in providing complete predictive and preventive maintenance programs. It provides root cause analysis through the separation of mechanical and electrical issues. The Baker EXP Dynamic Motor Testing System was designed to pinpoint the challenges your rotating machinery faces (voltage source, VFD, motor, load).
Benefits of Online Motor Testing
- Reduced downtime by preventing and predicting future problems
- Root cause analysis
- Monitor motor condition while running
- Understand VFD effects on motors
- Accurate assessment of operating load over time
- Immediate results
Applications & Test Available
- Motor Performance Tests
- Motor Conditions Tests
- Energy Assessment
- Advanced Data Collection
- Data Organization
- Power Condition Tests
Dynamic Balancing & Laser Alignment
Nearly anything that rotates, or is supported in bearings that allow it to rotate, needs balancing to insure quality performance. Schulz Electric utilizes CSI & various Schenck models of balancing equipment and have the capability to balance up to 60,000 lbs. in house. All precision equipment must be aligned in order to function accurately. Schulz technicians can provide print outs and live visual displays detailing specifications and tolerances for alignment. Laser alignment can be done on any size equipment from 5 HP and up on both horizontal and vertical motors. We also have the capability for aligning pulleys and belts.
Benefits of Dynamic Balancing & Laser Alignment
- Increased operating time
- Increased productivity
- Decreased downtime
- Applicable for vertical and horizontal motors
