Indramat MDD, MHD, MKD and MKE encoder and resolver repair

Indramat digital motor feedback is a Serial encoders and resolvers with memory data encoder with 1,024 or 2,048 counts per turn for the encoder types. We test it, repair or replace it and align it to the rotor. Found on: Indramat MDD, MHD, MKD and MKE digital motors. Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company and is not an OEM service centre.

Repair turnaround you can plan around

Send a photo of the nameplate first. We confirm whether the motor is repairable, and the quote, the same working day.

Emergency: same day

For a line-down motor, where the fault and parts allow. WhatsApp us before you send it so the bench is kept free.

Urgent: 3 working days

Repair, encoder alignment and test, counted from the day the motor reaches the bench and the quote is approved.

Standard: 7 working days

Full repair, encoder alignment, run test under load and a printed test report.

  • Free repairability check from a nameplate photo
  • Printed test report with every motor
  • Written warranty, terms stated on every quotation
  • Pickup can be arranged; parts that must be imported are quoted with their own timeline

Indramat digital motors (part numbers starting MDD, MHD, MKD and MKE) use serial encoder and resolver feedback that includes memory data identifying the motor to the drive. Older MAC motors are simpler: Hall effect commutation, an incremental encoder and a tachometer.

02Faults

How Indramat digital motor feedback encoders usually fail

  • No serial data from a board or cable fault
  • Memory data unreadable, so the drive cannot identify the motor
  • Resolver winding or connector fault
  • Alignment that no longer matches the rotor
03Process

How the repair is done

  1. Receive and identify

    We read the nameplate and encoder label and confirm the exact type.

  2. Test

    Count per turn, data status, alarm flags and, where fitted, incremental lines are checked on the bench.

  3. Repair or replace

    Board, connector or sensor faults are repaired; a matched encoder is fitted where repair is not sensible.

  4. Align

    Commutation is set to the rotor and checked at every pole pair using the electrical angle.

  5. Verify and report

    The motor is run on the bench and the readings are recorded in the report.

See encoder alignment, memory programming and replacement.

05FAQ

Questions

Can you repair a Indramat digital motor feedback encoder?

Yes. We test the position count and status, repair or replace the encoder, align it to the rotor and run the motor. We repair Indramat units; Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company and is not an OEM service centre.

Do you repair MAC motors?

Yes. MAC motors use Hall sensors, an incremental encoder and a tachometer, which we test and repair.

What does the memory data do?

It identifies the motor to the drive, so it must be intact for the motor to run.

What should I send for a Indramat digital motor feedback enquiry?

A clear photo of the motor nameplate and, if the cover is off, the encoder label. You can send the motor or only the encoder.

06Enquiry

Send the nameplate or encoder label

A clear photo of the motor nameplate and, if the cover is off, the encoder label is enough to start. We reply with whether it can be repaired and a quote.

We use these details to reply to your enquiry. See our privacy policy.
