Overhaul of 1950s Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto EX motor

It is always a pleasure to work on vintage British-made units, such as this Lancashire Dynamo & Crypto motor.

Despite its size and weight, it is rated at only 60HP. To make it things more interesting, it is an hazardous area motor manufactured to the old BS 229 standard.

During the overhaul, our EX qualified engineers returned it to the standard it was manufactured in the 1950s. As part of the service, the shaft was chromed and ground to a mirror finish, ensuring many more years of service.

We have repaired several such motors over the years and it is always a pleasure to work on well-engineered machines. They really don’t make them like this anymore.

If your old motor needs a repair or overhaul, please give us a call.
