Technical services abound with scrap yard magnets, bearings and brakes

Some unique technical services that set CMT apart from others include:

Gear Inspection: CMT can inspect and provide NDT certification on customer’s existing gears and geared apparatus.

Machining large parts: CMT has two 112” mills, which are former World War II-era machines, originally used for making tank turrets, now have electronic controls fitted on them.

Spin-casting bearings: CMT has an area dedicated to just spin-casting bearings for both customers and competitors.

Step-surge-testing magnets: Each scrap yard magnet manufactured by CMT is surge-tested at various voltages to find shorts in the magnet coil.

Thermal turn differential testing: Prior to final assembly of scrap yard magnets, each winding is scanned with a thermal imager at 100 to 500 volts AC. The scan reveals hot spots in the scrap yard magnet winding.

Static-torque-testing remanufactured brakes: Remanufactured brakes are tested with a static torque tester designed by CMT. The tester is adjustable to accommodate 6”-30” brakes at up to 15,000 lb-foot rated torque.

Testing machines on-site: When a machine is too large to remove from the customer’s premise, CMT tests them with one of two variable-speed drives. A 10 HP unit is used for smaller machines. A 100 HP unit is used for larger ones.
