Obsolete Motor Control

Obsolete Industrial, also known as OI, is a directory of industrial parts suppliers. We are a technology based business. The website was launched in 2008. Decades of maintenance experience provided enough evidence that obsolete motor control parts and components continually made life difficult in the industrial environment.

Our team consists of industrial maintenance technicians with a variety of electrical and mechanical backgrounds. We have been repairing, replacing and upgrading industrial controls and equipment for over twenty years.

We are a technology based organization. All parts and information contained on the site have been contributed by a community of industrialists. We do not warehouse parts and components, but provide a means for perspective buyers and sellers to achieve their goals.

Through a series of how-to articles along with basic theory and work experience, we have produced a system of methodical troubleshooting, parts location, and ultimately machine uptime. We encourage you to use the information contained at OI to your advantage, whether for obsolete motor control components or any industrial maintenance issues.

Motor Control Part Descriptions

• DC Magnetic Motor Starters
• Contactors
• Relays
• Servo Motordescription: A rotary motor device that allows for precise position control as well as precision speed and acceleration. It typically is accompanied by a means of position feedback.
• Stepper Motors description: A stepper motor is a DC electric motor that equally divides a 360 degree rotation into equal steps. It is typically used for positioning applications and can be used in conjunction with larger hydraulic motors.
• Stepping Motors description: A stepping motor (similar to the stepper or step motor) is a DC electric motor that equally divides a 360 degree rotation into equal steps. It is typically used for positioning applications and can be used to control larger hydraulic motors.
• VFD description: A variable frequency drive is an electronic device capable to controlling the overall velocity of a motor. It can be adjusted or programmed for speed, acceleration, and sometimes motor direction.
• Drum Switch
• Encoders
• Resolvers
• Pulse Coders
• Reversing Starters
• VSD description: A variable speed drive is an electronic device capable to controlling the overall velocity of a motor. It can be adjusted or programmed for speed, acceleration, and sometimes motor direction.
• Contactor Coils description: The contactor coil is energized by a low power circuit which can also be low voltage. It is a component of a relay or high power contactor device.
• Gear Motors
• Solenoids
• Varidrive Parts
• Soft Starters
• Servo Amplifiers
• Tachometers
