Repair, rebuild, balance, align

All repair and machine work is done in-house, so quality and delivery stay under one roof.

Rewound to EASA standards

Every motor is received, test run and inspected. Windings are tested, rotors dynamically balanced to NEMA tolerances, bearing fits measured to ABMA tolerance, and new C-3 bearings go in. Rewinds get a core loss test before and after the burnout oven, new copper and Class H varnish.

Then the motor is test run at its rated voltage before it leaves: 460, 2300 or 4160 volts.

How we repair and rewind motors

Coat it instead of scrapping it

Worn casings and impellers can be rebuilt with cold applied poly-ceramic coatings instead of welding and grinding. Many repairs take one day.

Drag across the photo: the same pump casing before and after coating in our shop.
