Light Rail/Traction Motor Services Much
of our focus throughout the past couple of decades has been
the build up of our Light Rail/Traction Motor
Division. We began this division in an effort
to better service the light rail municipalities
around the country. These companies had complained
bitterly about poor technical support from their
vendors and a repaired product whose longevity
was mediocre at best. These municipalities needed
a company that could get the job done and dahl-beck
electric was up to the challenge. We
sent many of our technicians to Spain and Germany
to receive factory training, then spent countless
hours working with their engineers redesigning
specific attributes of these
DC motors in an effort to improve reliability.
We are the only repair facility
in the United States to have received this training
and the only shop that has access to factory OEM
rewinding kits and replacement parts. A lot of
resources were also exhausted trying to find the
specialized equipment necessary to do the job
right. We feel this equipment truly helps set
us apart from the competition. When this equipment
is operated by our experienced journeymen the
quality of work is exceptional.
Here is a brief
description of the equipment we use and its function.
