When to Rewind a Motor

Not every motor failure means total replacement. Consider rewinding if:

  • The winding insulation has failed
  • Your motor has been exposed to overloads or voltage imbalance
  • There’s evidence of shorted coils or phase failure
  • Bearings failed and caused winding damage
  • You want to upgrade insulation for higher temperature ratings

Our Rewinding Process

We follow a thorough, precision-based rewinding process:

  1. Testing & Diagnosis: We verify that rewinding is the best option for your motor.
  2. Disassembly & Core Prep: The motor is disassembled, cleaned, and the old windings removed.
  3. Rewinding: We rewind the stator with precision-matched coils, using high-grade magnet wire and Class H insulation.
  4. Varnish & Baking: Coils are varnished and oven-cured for moisture resistance and long life.
  5. Reassembly & Load Testing: Your motor is reassembled and tested under load to ensure optimal performance.
