Armature Repair
An armature is made up of many different parts which requires specialized experience in order to repair properly. The armature contains a winding, commutator bar, and an armature shaft.
Rewinding during an armature repair
The lamination stack of an armature must be in good condition and our experienced technicians inspect the laminations before rewinding. Repairs are conducted on the laminations or simply a new lamination stack is manufactured. When the armature is ready for rewinding, our winders follow precise rewinding steps which include manufacturing of the coils and inserting of the coils. Check out our armature rewinding blog to learn more about this process: Armature Rewinding
Please note that we are not able to wind small power tools, vacuum blowers, automotive 6 or 12v, lift trucks 12, 24,36, 48v or golf cart armatures.

Commutator repair during an armature repair
The commutator is vital to the longevity of our customers’ armatures. Our machinists and technicians must ensure that we create a smooth surface in order for the brushes on a DC motor to pass over the commutator smoothly and transmit electrical currents to the armature windings. Check out our commutator repair page to learn more about this process: Commutator Repair

Machining work for armature repair
Our machinists inspect all motor shafts during our repair process. This is to ensure that the shaft meets the OEM specifications for tolerances. When an armature shaft does not meet tolerances, our machinists can repair the shaft. To understand more about our machining capabilities, click here: Complete Machine Shop

Balancing during an armature repair
If a rotating apparatus is not balanced, the equipment will experience vibration most likely resulting in premature failure. Our trained balancers balance armatures to the tightest of tolerances to ensure the reliability of an armature repair. Check out more about balancing and our strict standards here: Dynamic Balancing
