NORD questions
My NORD SK unit is leaking from the output seal — repair or replace?
Output seal replacement on UNICASE units is routine — the housing is one piece, so a proper reseal with OEM-spec seals holds. The judgment call is what the oil looks like: clean oil = reseal; glittery oil = bearings are going too, rebuild while it's open. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
NORD gearmotor hums but won't turn — motor or gears?
Uncouple the load first. If the output spins free by hand, suspect the motor or brake (if fitted). If it's locked, a gear or bearing has let go inside — stop jogging it before the housing cracks. Either way it's rebuildable. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
Are NORD SK gearmotors worth repairing at small frame sizes?
Below ~2 hp a swap can beat a rebuild — used SK units trade around $200-500. But lead time rules: if the exact ratio/mount is stocked, swap; if it's an odd configuration, an 8-12 day rebuild beats a 20-week factory order. We quote both. Call (641) 519-6270 for a free teardown quote — or sell us the unit as-is for cash.
