Prevention is cheaper than breakdown

Noise and Vibration Testing

Noise and vibration are the early warning signs of motor trouble. Ignore them, and you're gambling with downtime, costly repairs—and sometimes, entire systems. At Mawdsleys, we specialise in catching problems before they cause damage. Our noise and vibration testing service is a frontline defence for your AC and DC motors—diagnosing hidden issues, preventing failure, and keeping your operations running.

Less downtime

Catch faults early, stay running longer.

Lower repair bills

The process

We use state-of-the-art noise and vibration analysis tools to track the frequency and severity of abnormal behaviour in your motor. These tools let us pinpoint developing faults long before they take your motor—or your operation—offline. No guesswork. Just data-driven diagnostics from engineers who know rotating equipment inside-out.

Tailored repairs. Custom manufacturing

We regularly work with critical industries where compliance with strict noise and vibration thresholds isn’t optional. If your application demands low-vibration, quiet-running AC or DC motors—we’ll test and manufacture to meet that noise and vibration spec, down to the decimal. We do everything under one roof to minimise downtime and get you where you want to be as quickly as possible.

Noise and Vibration Testing FAQ

Why is noise and vibration testing important for my electric motors?

Noise and vibration diagnostics save you time and money. Since the first symptoms of electric motor wear and tear are increased noise and vibration, you can prevent breakdowns, unnecessary downtime, and prolong the life of your equipment.

What can cause excess noise and vibration in the electric motor?

Most of the causes of noises and vibration are indicators for necessary electric motor repair or rewind. They include carbon brush wear, bearing failure, stator wear or shaft misalignment.

What are the risks when there is excessive noise and vibration?

The risks would depend on the severity of the noise and vibration. In the worst case scenario if ignored they can result in a failure of your electric motor beyond repair.

How long does the process take?

The lead times for our noise and vibration service would depend on the type of kit which you would like serviced. They can take from one day to two weeks.
