How Can Motor Producers Increase Pressing Accuracy?

2026-08-25

Motor shafts, bearings, housings, rotors, and stator components must be pressed to controlled positions without deformation. Even a small deviation in force or insertion depth can create excessive bearing preload, loose riveting, rotor misalignment, or unstable motor operation. Replacing conventional force-dependent pressing with a programmable Servo Press Machine allows manufacturers to control the complete pressing cycle more consistently.

Where Pressing Variation Comes From

Pressing accuracy is affected by more than the press itself. Component tolerances, fixture alignment, shaft straightness, material hardness, tooling wear, and loading orientation can all change the result.

Source of variationPossible resultRecommended control
Incorrect part positionTilted or incomplete insertionAdd locating fixtures and presence sensors
Unstable pressing forceLoose or damaged assemblyStore force settings by product model
Tooling wearGradual dimensional deviationSet inspection and replacement intervals
Mixed componentsIncorrect assembly depthUse model verification before each cycle
Manual judgmentDifferences between operatorsControl stroke and pressure through PLC

Understanding these relationships helps factories correct the process rather than repeatedly adjusting the final product.

Control Force and Stroke Together

A conventional press may reach its mechanical stop even when a component is incorrectly positioned. Monitoring displacement alone is therefore not enough. The precise motor pressing process should control both the applied force and the movement of the press head.

Force that rises too quickly may indicate tilted loading, excessive interference, or an incorrect part. Low resistance may suggest an undersized component or insufficient interference. Defining acceptable processing limits makes abnormal assemblies easier to identify before they move downstream.

WECAN’s precision servo equipment uses an AC servo motor, low-backlash ball screw, sensitive sensors, and PLC control. Its published repeat accuracy is 0.02 mm, with a working cycle of approximately four to five seconds per piece.

Build Dedicated Fixtures for Each Component

Pressing accuracy cannot be maintained when the workpiece moves inside the fixture. Locating surfaces should reference stable component features and support the part close to the pressing area. This reduces tilting and prevents thin housings from deforming.

Fixtures should also be designed for quick cleaning. Metal chips, coating residue, and damaged locating surfaces can gradually alter the assembly position. First-piece checks after tooling changes help confirm that the new setup is correct.

Standardize Product Changeovers

Factories producing several motor models should save approved parameters for each component. A changeover record can include:

  • Product and tooling identification

  • Target pressing force

  • Required insertion depth

  • Permitted force and displacement range

  • Fixture confirmation result

  • First-piece inspection status

These controls are especially important for motor assembly equipment buyers evaluating machinery for mixed-model production. Parameter management and tooling repeatability may affect long-term quality more than maximum press capacity alone.

Use Production Data to Prevent Defects

Pressing records can reveal gradual process changes before visible failures increase. A rising force trend may indicate tool wear or a change in component dimensions. A falling force curve can point to insufficient interference or mixed materials.

Process data should be reviewed together with motor noise, runout, vibration, and final testing results. This links pressing conditions with actual product performance.

Higher accuracy comes from combining rigid tooling, controlled force, repeatable stroke, reliable sensors, and disciplined changeovers. A properly configured servo press machine gives motor producers a measurable process instead of an operator-dependent operation, reducing rework while protecting sensitive components.
