We are often asked, if you still need to service an electric motor and how often. Yes, is the short answer. Whilst electric motors need less servicing and maintenance, due to less components and no liquids and fuel running through them, regular servicing ensures optimal performance. We keep our electric motor designs as simple as possible and ensure we use quality materials, which further reduces the need for maintenance and repairs. However, regular servicing is likely to increase the life and efficient running of your electric motor and drive systems. This could potentially save you money in the long run. How often you should service your electric motor is dependent on the amount of use and type of application, but as rule of thumb we suggest an annual service to be prudent for most. If you get in contact we will happily advise you on this, with reliable integrity! Our passion lies in promoting the use of electric power and propulsion, so we ensure that you only have the service you need, when you need it. To give you an idea of costs though, our standard service costs £325 + VAT (if applicable) and includes: -Complete strip down and clean of castings -Bearing, shaft and band cover replacement -Skim armature and check balance -Re-assemble and test For international customers sending motors in from overseas, we can advise on the best methods to save time and money on postage and customs too. Caroline and Trevor are a font of knowledge on this subject, so be sure to call first! Trevor and the team love to cat over the phone, but there is also more information on servicing on our website at: https://lnkd.in/e5BFgce3

Innovation and invention is at our core and as such we are proud to officially introduce Red Snapper, the first hybrid electric drop-in solution that works with a current engine in situ!! Trevor and the Lynch Motors team designed this pioneering solution as a more cost-effective way to convert a boat to an electric hybrid, another step towards reducing emissions on the waterways and encouraging movement through electric. The Red Snapper is a hybrid electric, drop-in, marine drive system that is designed to fit around the current engine and only requires approximately 100mm space on the prop shaft to be fitted. As far as we are aware, Red Snapper is the first and only drop in solution on the market that can work in this way, with the current engine in situ. This reduces cost and waste of engine replacement. We hope that this will encourage more people to convert sooner, to electric propulsion, rather than waiting for the point of engine renewal. Read More: https://lnkd.in/eS8fJN5M

He did it!! After 31 days, 22 hours and 20 minutes, 18-year-old Harry Besley has circumnavigated Britain in an electric powered rib! In an aim to to encourage the move to zero emissions propulsion through electric, Harry set off on his challenge on the 16th July, arriving to an applauding crowd, including our very own Trevor, in Lyme Regis on the 18th August. Harry wants more people to move to electric power on the water, to reduce the use of fossil fuels, water and noise pollution in our sea and waterways. Increasing electric propulsion, being an ambition shared by Trevor and the Lynch Motors team, when we were asked to sponsor Harry we jumped at the chance. We are proud sponsors of Harry, his mission and the roundbritain_erib challenge and look forward to more adventures! You can find out more about Harry and his mission and support his cause and donate at https://lnkd.in/ebiFimMT Congratulations Harry! #ElectricMarineDriveSytems #ElectricBoating #ElectricMotors #RoundBritainErib

The Lynch Motors team recently spent a couple of days at Chichester Harbour upgrading the Solar Heritage, a pollutions-free, solar powered catamaran. The Solar Heritage provides educational boat trips for schools, encouraging children to consider climate change, renewable energy and the impact on wildlife. So, it is a boat that gets lots of constant use. The recent upgrade included new Twin Marlin 8 drive system and adaptions to the set up to improve current handling. Over the years we have completed several site visits to ensure everything is operational and added additional features to make it easier for the crew to understand and work with the drive system. The vessel has two sources of energy, electromagnetic energy from the sun and conventional energy from the national grid. Being electrically driven, rather than fuel driven, the vessel is extremely quiet, so it does not disturb the wildlife. There are also no CO2 emissions and no wash to cause erosion to the estuary bank or salt marsh. You can read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ePEw-B7P #SolarHeritage #ElectricBoating

We really do make anything move with electric, from large industrial cranes and boats, to miniature railways and leisure rides. Last month we had fun fitting our electric drive systems to the iconic Gus Hunnybun miniature train ride on Plymouth Hoe in Devon. The ride has been entertaining and carrying children for over 50 years, so the new upgrade to electric power had to incorporate the train's original features, whilst complying to the latest health and safety standard. Lynch electric systems are ultra safe, always within the ‘ultra-safe’ government guidelines and the EU low voltage directive. Being within 24v or 48v DC, makes it safe for customers to install and use our Lynch motors and systems. So the perfect choice for this project. Whilst just one of our motors has the power and torque to pull all 4 trains, for safety we have installed two, one at the front and one at the back. This gives the train an in-built redundancy, so one can pull and one can push and there is back up in the unlikely event that one fails. This is important for safety reasons, as well as to keep the ride going. You can read more about this story here: https://lnkd.in/eGz6Y6uE

Congratulations University of Sheffield Railway Challenge team. Grand champions of the 2024 Railway Challenge for the first time...powered by Lynch too!! We love this annual challenge and seeing the trains powered by Lynch Electric Motors, such as this The University of Sheffield entry and the well-deserved runners up, University of Derby & ALSTOM too. This train was powered by our LEM170, you can see more on this and our other motors here: https://lnkd.in/eCfF6tn3 You can find out and follow this and more fun challenges at IMechE Railway Challenge

Heard of Colin Furze, crazy inventor & world record breaker with more than a little disregard to health and safety? We have loved seeing Lynch motors power some of his daring and fun inventions over the years. Colin's antics have certainly delivered a few chuckles from Trevor and the team at Lynch motors, and I dare say reminded Trevor of his own fun and silly creations and adventures too....more to come on that! It's Friday, so go on, kick back and take 5 to watch Colin on his YouTube channel and have a giggle!! https://lnkd.in/eFc6xPYp I mean who wouldn’t want to see the fastest ever mobility scooter or toilet, or his infamous drift bike on the wall of death! We are particular fans, as Colin uses Lynch Motors in a number of his builds, such as the Drift Trike on the Wall of Death and his Solar Powered Lawn mower. Just don't do this at home....although I fear Trevor, at Lynch Motors, probably has! #ElectricMotors #Hybrid #PoweredByElectric #Sustainability

Industries are looking for more sustainable ways to power machinery. Moving from petrol or diesel to electric is an option that we can provide a solution for. And we did just that, when in 2000 we were asked to design an electric drive solution for rail track grinders, for the London Underground! The challenge, the Lynch team love a challenge, was to convert London Underground railway grinders from petrol to electric, to improve safety, sustainability and ease of transit. Nearly 20 years later, the same electric rail grinders are still going strong, with regular maintenance & servicing from the team at Lynch Motors. Traditionally railway grinders are petrol powered, which causes issues when used underground due to the restricted air flow. Converting the rail grinders to electric, removed the risk of sparks igniting due to combustion fumes, as well creating a more pleasant and fume free environment. The electric rail grinder is a safer alternative, not only due to the omission of combustion fuels but also due to the in-built controller and voltage protection, which protects the battery and increases the life of the unit.
