Discover How Our On-Site Services Can Help You
Electronic Drives and Controls Services
Universal field service technicians installed two new premium booster pump systems with variable frequency drives. Normally, such a job would require an interruption of service for an entire day. However, our in-house engineer was able to reduce the downtime to a half-hour, thanks to a clever workaround that was used to keep the pumps running while the new controls were being installed.
Universal offers a wide range of on-site services—our technicians go to your location and perform rigging, removal, and installation of electromechanical equipment. Be it a temporary system or a permanent one, we can install it. Even if your equipment is old or heavily damaged, we can work with it. If your equipment is no longer serviceable, we can assist you with providing and installing the appropriate replacement. We will also perform diagnostic testing following our completion of work, to guarantee that our work is done proper and your top standards

Facility Maintenance
Our predictive maintenance services include vibration analysis, polarization index testing, lubrication of rotating equipment, and generator PM service.
- Vibration analysis helps predict mechanical problems that currently exist in your equipment and can help prevent a catastrophic failure.
- Polarization index testing provides a detailed report of the integrity of electric motor insulation without damaging the motor.
- Lubricating rotating equipment at factory-recommended intervals with the proper grease will enable you to get optimum life out of your rotating equipment.

Universal Electric
Older OEM equipment can carry long lead times on replacement materials and become a large headache when repairs are needed. UE was called in to rebuild a large Trane air handler over 50 years old that was a critical piece of ventilation equipment for a manufacturing plant. Our technicians set up an onsite press and removed a 3 15/16" solid overhung blower shaft, old sleeve pillow block bearings, 100HP motor, pulleys & belts. We were able to machine a new shaft and source proper replacement pillow block bearings converting to grease-lubricated bearings to eliminate weeks of downtime. Our technicians installed all new equipment including a new 100HP inverter duty motor on site and had onsite balancing done to complete the work. The complete downtime on the fan was limited to under 48 hours.
