Each electric motor repair job is scrupulously examined in detail, so we know from the outset the full breadth of repairs needed to return your motor to its original manufactured condition. We practice stringent adherence to the industry's most demanding specifications.


We also have available redesign and rewind for small electric motor repairs through 10000 HP and weights up to 40 tons, AC and DC. Each motor we receive for repair is analyzed for the cause of failure, and we document each step of the repair process, including complete mechanical inspection.

Solenoids, brake coils, magnet coils and coils of all types can be wound on our computer operated coil machines.

Each winding is computer verified for accuracy and proper design. Each stator is core loss tested before and after stripping. Surge comparison testing, polarization index and AC/DC hipot testing are all part of our standard operating procedure.

Windings undergo Vacuum Pressure Impregnate (VPI) process with our unique epoxy/polyester blend resin resulting in maximum motor protection in all running environments including hermetically sealed units
