Quiz: Think your spare motor storage practices are up to speed?

Storing spare electric motors isn’t as simple as keeping them on a shelf until needed. Without proper care, issues like shaft sag, bearing damage, corrosion, and moisture intrusion can compromise reliability long before a motor is put into service. Even small missteps—like skipping monthly shaft rotations or neglecting humidity control—can lead to costly downtime and repairs.

This quiz will test your knowledge of best practices for motor storage, from climate control and lubrication to documentation and pest prevention. Whether you manage a small stockroom or a large spare motor inventory, see how well you understand the best practices that ensure motors stay ready for critical applications.
