When addressing the operating costs of a modern heavy industrial production facility, most industrial processes will involve electric motors and all will need the services of a generator, either directly on site or indirectly through the electricity supplier. Prolonging the service life of these vital pieces of equipment can deliver significant improvements in their life cycle cost as well as operational savings for the production facility.

Several industries - including mining, steel, rail and power generation - rely on large motors equipped with commutators to produce the power required by their applications. However, without precision maintenance, these vital components can become inefficient and eventually fail.
