This Steinert drum magnet was recently repaired at our works. The drum skin has been repaired and all coils were removed and re-insulated in order to bring them back to original electrical insulation specification.
This particular drum came in for repair following a non drive end bearing failure which resulted in the drum needing a new shaft. Yet another reason why EPMS2010 recommend changing bearings every 3-4 years of magnet use. Both large bearings where replaced. The drum magnet was then reassembled using all new bolts and seals, a new terminal box and then fully tested at our works.
The drum size was 2800mm wide 1800 diameter weighing in at over 19 tonnes. All work was carried out in our new workshop in Birmingham.
