Electric Motor Repair

Motor Rewinding

Motor Rewinding is a multi-step process in restoring your electric motor. We start by recording any pertinent data before any parts are removed and or repaired.

Remove Faulty windings - once all data is recorded, we begin to remove windings, and any other insulation or contaminants in the way.

Stator Cleaning - We make sure every electric motor is clean before we add new coils or install any new insulation. This makes sure you electric motor is restored at the best quality.

Lacing and Coils - Depending on the electric motor at hand, we will use the appropriate winding head. Once coils are in place we re-insulate the coils and add lacing for added stability. We make sure our work is of quality by running a dielectric test to confirm the integrity and quality of our rewinding for a perfect electric motor repair.

If you are interested in our rewinding services, please give us a call at (469) 381-7020 or Fill out our contact form.

Part Replacement

Bearings are the sealed round discs that suspend the shaft within the motor. They allow for a smooth and quiet spinning of the shaft. Accordingly, a loud screeching sound is indicative of defective bearings. If you hear screeching or other high pitch sounds, its most likely a bearing issue.

Over fifty percent of all failures that occur in a motor will be bearing related. It is a component that is under constant friction and mechanical force. For this reason, it is often first to malfunction. If something sounds off make sure to give Texas Electric Motors a call.

A motor capacitor, such as a start capacitor or run capacitor, alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase motor to create a rotating magnetic field. In many electric motors there are two capacitors, one boosting the start winding (the start capacitor) and a second that remains in the circuit while the motor continues running (the run capacitor).

A carbon brush conducts electricity to the motor through the motor’s commutator. They are made of a material that is softer than the commutator, preventing damage. Carbon brushes are built to wear down. With usage, they reduce in size and can no longer conduct electricity.
