EASA 2025 Celebrates Pumps, Motors and Drives

Highlights include new motor technology, replacement parts and predictive maintenance solutions

The 2025 EASA Convention at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville took place in July 2025. The event focused on companies involved in the service and sale of electric motors, pumps, drives, controls, gearboxes and other rotating machinery. Highlights included market trends, economic outlook, harnessing AI, rotor testing, new motor technologies, supply chain and more.

IPS Booth #169

Integrated Power Services (IPS) featured in-shop and field services, including distribution and coil manufacturing, as well as breaker and transformer repairs.

IPS provides turnkey distribution services—whether this means sourcing from the company’s extensive inventory of off-the-shelf products or design and manufacturing to meet customer needs.

“In all things, we know that our customers count on us to be responsive and ready to provide optimal solutions on time and on budget,” explains Sam Patrick, IPS director of distribution. “Whether it be catalog items or one-off designs, we can provide motors, pumps, and other rotating or power distribution replacement parts all in record time. This efficiency extends to our shop services as well, where we can deliver short production runs of replacement parts, fleet-level motor modifications, and e-houses.

IPS is also a trusted manufacturer of high-voltage coils. “The coils we manufacture in-house are subjected to rigorous testing to ensure superior performance and reliability,” said Patrick. “We supply coils to customers worldwide across the spectrum of industries, including wind, power generation, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, and oil and gas,”

In addition, IPS provides dedicated, high-value remanufacturing of customer-supplied circuit breakers, switchgear and related parts, along with proven, experienced remanufacturing, rebuilds, and reconditioning of electrical distribution equipment.

Schaeffler Booth #265

Schaeffler highlighted solutions engineered to support safer, more efficient motor repair. Key technologies included current-insulating bearings designed to help prevent premature failure, as well as the Optime Ecosystem for predictive maintenance. The booth also featured induction heaters, smart lubricators, and scalable condition monitoring systems.

Electrical current passing through bearings can lead to premature bearing failure and expensive machine downtime. FAG current-insulated bearings from Schaeffler—including hybrid ceramic or ceramic-coated versions featuring proprietary Insutect coating—are specially engineered to stop stray electric current in its tracks.

Optime is Schaeffler’s condition monitoring system designed to prevent unplanned machine downtime. It monitors all plant assets across entire manufacturing facilities—seamlessly, cost-effectively and completely automatically. For just pennies per day, Optime provides 15,000 measurements (based on six different vibration measurements plus temperature at preset intervals) per sensor per year.

Schaeffler’s Concept1 single-point automatic lubricator uses an electrochemical reaction to precisely and continuously supply the proper amount of lubricant to rolling bearings inside electric motors and other industrial machinery. Easy to install and operate, Concept1 can reduce plant maintenance costs by as much as 25 percent when compared to manual lubrication procedures.
