Professional Motor Rewinding Services
Motor rewinding is often a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new motors, especially for larger units or specialized equipment. Our motor rewinding services can restore your motor to like-new condition at a fraction of replacement cost.
When Should You Consider Motor Rewinding?
Rewinding makes economic sense when the motor frame and mechanical components are in good condition, but the windings have failed due to overheating, moisture damage, or age. Motors exceeding 15 HP typically benefit most from rewinding, as replacement costs become significant. Our technicians conduct thorough assessments to determine whether rewinding or replacement is the best option for your situation.
Our Motor Rewinding Process
We follow strict quality standards during every rewind. First, we completely strip the old windings and document all specifications. The stator core is then cleaned, inspected for damage, and tested. New winding wire of the correct gauge and insulation class is carefully wound according to the original design or improved specifications. After winding, we apply high-quality varnish and bake the motor to ensure proper insulation. Finally, we conduct extensive electrical and performance testing before returning the motor to service.
Benefits of Professional Motor Rewinding
Properly rewound motors can actually perform better than new ones of lower quality. You preserve expensive motor frames and components while updating the electrical system. Rewinding is also environmentally responsible, reducing waste and conserving resources. For specialized or obsolete motors where replacements are unavailable or extremely expensive, rewinding may be your only viable option.
Preventive Maintenance Services
The most cost-effective motor management strategy is preventing failures before they occur. Our preventive maintenance programs are designed to maximize motor life, improve efficiency, and eliminate unexpected downtime.
What Our Maintenance Services Include
Regular inspections form the foundation of our maintenance program. Our technicians check for signs of wear, overheating, vibration, and electrical problems during scheduled visits. We perform thermal imaging to identify hot spots indicating potential failures. Vibration analysis helps detect bearing wear, misalignment, and imbalance before they cause catastrophic damage.
We also conduct routine lubrication according to manufacturer specifications, clean motors to prevent heat buildup, check and tighten electrical connections, test insulation resistance, verify proper voltage and current draw, and inspect mounting and alignment. After each service, you receive a detailed report with our findings and recommendations.
Customized Maintenance Programs
Every facility has different needs based on operating conditions, motor criticality, and budget constraints. We work with you to develop a maintenance schedule that makes sense for your operations. This might range from quarterly inspections for critical motors to annual service for less essential equipment.
Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Services
When motors malfunction, identifying the root cause quickly is crucial. Our diagnostic services utilize advanced testing equipment to pinpoint problems accurately:
We perform insulation resistance testing to detect winding deterioration, current signature analysis to identify mechanical and electrical faults, power quality monitoring to check for voltage imbalances and harmonics, and load testing to verify motor performance under operating conditions. This comprehensive approach ensures we address the actual problem rather than just symptoms, preventing repeated failures.

Motor Installation Best Practices
Proper installation extends motor life and ensures optimal performance. Here are key factors we address during every motor installation:
Foundation and Mounting
Motors must be mounted on rigid foundations that can support both the motor weight and operational forces. We ensure foundations are level, properly sized, and free from cracks or deterioration. Proper mounting prevents vibration transmission and maintains alignment.
Alignment
Misalignment between the motor and driven equipment is a leading cause of premature failure. We use precision alignment tools to ensure motor and load shafts are properly aligned within manufacturer tolerances. This reduces bearing wear, minimizes vibration, and improves efficiency.
Electrical Connections
All electrical connections must be sized correctly for the motor load, properly terminated, and adequately protected. We verify voltage supply matches motor requirements, check phase balance, ensure proper overcurrent protection, and confirm grounding meets safety standards.
Environmental Considerations
Motors installed in harsh environments need special attention. We consider factors like ambient temperature, humidity, dust, corrosive atmospheres, and explosion hazards when selecting and installing motors. Proper enclosure ratings and protective measures ensure long motor life even in challenging conditions.
Common Motor Problems We Address
Through our installation, rewinding, and maintenance services, we regularly address these common motor issues:
Overheating
Motors may overheat due to inadequate ventilation, excessive loading, voltage imbalances, or failing bearings. We identify and correct the underlying cause while repairing heat-damaged components.
Bearing Failures
Bearing problems often result from improper lubrication, misalignment, or contamination. We replace bearings with quality components and address the root cause to prevent recurrence.
Electrical Faults
Winding failures, insulation breakdown, and connection problems can result from age, moisture, or electrical stress. Our rewinding and repair services restore electrical integrity.
