- Cleaning cloth and non-corrosive cleaner
Tip: Always record measured voltage/current/temperature and the test conditions (load, duration, environment) for traceable diagnosis.
Preventive Maintenance Checklist
Preventive maintenance focuses on stability of the unilateral shaft-pressed structure, secure fixing, and healthy electrical connections. Perform checks after initial installation, after the first commissioning run, and periodically according to your duty cycle.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Flow (Graded Actions)
- Safety isolation: Power off, disconnect supply as applicable, wait for discharge per your system practice.
- Visual inspection: Check motor exterior, mounting, unilateral shaft-pressed area, cable routing, connector seating.
- Electrical connection inspection: Verify continuity where appropriate; check for loose terminals, damaged insulation, or corrosion.
- Commissioning re-test: Run at low load first; observe start behavior, noise/vibration, and current trend.
- Temperature monitoring: Track temperature rise; compare against your baseline under similar conditions.
- Escalation decision: If symptoms persist or worsen, stop operation and contact Shenzhen Jinhaixin Holdings Co., Ltd (WINAMICS) for technical support.
Note: This guide focuses on
installation checks,
wiring inspection,
temperature monitoring, and
noise/vibration evaluation. Avoid parameter changes or internal disassembly during routine troubleshooting to prevent secondary failures.
Common Symptoms & Practical Checks
1) Overheating
- Confirm airflow/heat dissipation around the motor and that no debris blocks ventilation paths in the equipment design.
- Check for abnormal current increase using a clamp meter under the same load profile.
- Inspect wiring/loom for high-resistance points (loose connectors, oxidation, partial breaks).
- If temperature continues rising rapidly, stop operation and escalate to WINAMICS support.
2) Abnormal current
- Verify all external electrical connections are properly seated and not heating at the connector points.
- Check cable routing for pinch points or insulation damage that may cause intermittent faults.
- Compare measured current trends with your normal baseline for the same vehicle/equipment configuration.
- Do not adjust controller parameters as a first response; prioritize connection and mechanical fit checks.
3) Increasing noise or vibration
- Inspect mounting fasteners for loosening and re-check the mechanical fit around the unilateral shaft-pressed interface.
- Look for external rubbing points, misalignment, or environment-driven contamination (sand/dust ingress) affecting rotating parts in the equipment.
- Perform a controlled low-speed test and listen for periodic patterns (often indicating fit or contact issues).
- If vibration becomes strong or suddenly worsens, stop use and arrange inspection.
4) Insufficient power
- Check for mechanical drag in the equipment (alignment, external contact) and confirm the wheel/tire assembly rotates freely when safe to do so.
- Inspect wiring and connectors for looseness and signs of heating (discoloration/odor).
- Confirm that installation is correct for the 200mm diameter / 84mm tire width configuration and that no secondary modifications introduced fit issues.
5) No start
- Start with an external check: connectors fully inserted, no bent pins, and harness integrity verified.
- Use a multimeter for basic continuity checks on accessible external lines (according to your system design).
- Inspect for physical interference or locking caused by mounting misalignment or foreign objects.
- If the motor repeatedly fails to start after external checks, stop and contact Shenzhen Jinhaixin Holdings Co., Ltd for support guidance.
Installation Quality Checks (Focused on Unilateral Shaft-Pressed Design)
The unilateral shaft-pressed structure is designed to enhance stability and support efficient power transmission. To preserve these benefits, ensure the installation is secure and free of misalignment that could lead to noise, vibration, or premature wear.
- Confirm the motor is fixed firmly to the equipment structure; avoid uneven stress caused by skewed mounting surfaces.
- Re-check fastening after the first short test run; loosening early in commissioning is a common root cause of vibration.
- Keep the motor exterior clean; remove debris that may affect heat dissipation and visual inspections.
When to Stop and Escalate
- Rapid temperature increase or repeated overheating after wiring and environment checks.
- Abnormal current that persists under controlled low-load testing.
- Sudden strong vibration, grinding noise, or any sign of mechanical interference.
- Repeated no-start events after external connection and fixing checks.
Prepare your troubleshooting record (symptom, conditions, photos, measured current/temperature) to speed up remote support.
