Flemish/Dutch for eletronic related job...

"lekker" is something that tastes nice, looks nice, feels nice, fits nice (in clothing "zit lekker"). That can include but is not limited to, your ice cream, your girlfriend, your couch or pants.
Something does not sound "lekker" for some reason. "lekker" is a very versatile word.

The Dutch word 'lekker' can also be used in a sarcastic setting in which it isn't positive. And lekker can definitely be used for music as well. 'Lekker muziekje'.

[Galenbo]

that is a dutch word , not a 'flemish' ( belgian variant of dutch language ) word.

It is a flemish word in the area where I live, but the use in non-food meanings comes from nederland.

1st day on the job!
The engines are bigger than "normal". So I get to use comically large copies of common tools 
Lots of usage of heat to mount or dismount parts, especially bearings.
Firstly I took apart a AC asynchronous motor, pretty normal, from the early 60's: the client had set a max work time of 4 hours, it needs at least 7, so it's going to get recycled (the part that holds the bearing on the shaft side is out of true thus needs a new race). The UVW/XYZ was also reversed.
The second one comes from a refinery in a tropical place (no idea where), and was build in 1941, rebuilt in 1954, revised in 1983 and now in 2015 and still has 20 or 30 years life in it - electric motors last long!
This model, in constant use in a tropical place, only needs it's grease replenished every tens years. And that's it. No other maintenance.
Got to use my hobbyist soldering abilities to repair broken heat sensor wire in a weird place that people were trying to get anybody else to do.

Pretty cool on the whole,

[gildasd]

How about this one 1930 and still going strong!

The only worn piece is the ventilator rotor, that will be changed in 20 or 30 years.
Damage is limited to some superficial scrapes on the shaft where some dufus probably forgot the clavette during an Allied bombing raid (made the last part up).
With a bit of maintenance these thing a near damn eternal!

That is the first ( or only) version of that motor they made? New bearings and brushes and it will run for another century with no problems again.

ACEC was very big from early 1900's to the late 70's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ateliers_de_Constructions_Electriques_de_Charleroi
It's very well made with clean simple parts, uses more welding that modern stuff and is quite efficient once started. Even the brush carriers look new after a bit of sand blasting.
We corrected some "meh" electrical bolting that was probably done in the 70's - but it would have ran the same if we had left it as is.

[Galenbo]

Does your company repair commutators of damaged DC drive motors?



It still runs, with shocks, parts have to be welded/replaced, they are burned in.

[gildasd]

I'm pretty sure they do.
Coil damage on the stator is the worst failure on motors, commutators are refaced, repaired or changed (but I can't tell you more, I've yet to work in that part of the factory).
That part looks ok? Do you have a picture of your damaged motor?
If urgent, try to get it in now, August is crazy apparently.

[Jeroen3]

In summer you're understaffed due to holidays.

I used to repair those commutators once is a while. Cut off uneven material in a lathe, re-cut the grooves (the one showns still has sharp rectangular grooves, so not re-cut yet) and high voltage test the rotor. Takes some time, and you'll need to be careful with the cutting tool, 1 slip and you're going again.

[gildasd]

Galenbo, I've PM'd you...
I don't know if the info is client/company privileged...

[gildasd]

Clarifying a work doc, i'm not 100% sure of these:
"uitlopers"?
"Poolschoen"?
"Herisoleren"

Definitely not my expertise and I am dutch but trying to help:

"uitlopers" no idea, in which context is it used (sentence)?

"Poolschoen" see picture, says more than a lot of words 

"Herisoleren" means to re-isolate, so remove the old isolation and replace with brandnew isolation or perhaps enforce the existing isolation.

[Jeroen3]

Uitlopers, de draden die uit de stator lopen.

_{Or is this too much dutch?}

It's the cables that lead out and in my case, specifically the connector on the ends.

THanks!
