When a motor stops, production stops with it. We handle the complete repair and remanufacture of AC and DC electric motors for businesses in San Antonio. Every job starts with testing on a Baker Winding Analyzer to locate core losses, winding faults, and other failure points before any work begins. Once the cause is clear, our technicians repair or rebuild the unit and seal the windings through vacuum pressure impregnation, a step that guards against moisture and contamination, the most common r...

A motor that has burned out does not always need replacing. Our rewind service strips the damaged windings, inspects the core and frame, and installs new copper wire to restore the motor to like-new condition. Our technicians handle everything from fractional horsepower units to large industrial machines, and we verify the work with testing before it goes back into service. After the new windings are installed, we apply vacuum pressure impregnation to seal them against moisture and dirt, which i...

Pumps keep water, process fluids, and other materials moving across South Texas facilities, and a failed pump can quickly shut down an operation. We repair industrial pumps along with their electric motors, drives, and controls, so the whole system is examined rather than just the one part that failed. Our machine shop handles balancing, shaft work, and component replacement, and our rotating equipment specialists look for root causes so the same problem does not return. We also offer field serv...

We repair both AC and DC motors, and the two types require different expertise, which our technicians bring to every job. AC motors are common in pumps, fans, and general plant machinery, while DC motors are often found in drives and specialized equipment that needs precise speed control. Whatever the type, we begin with electrical and mechanical testing to find the failure point, then carry out repairs or a full rebuild in our shop. Our work follows EASA AR100 standards, and we use vacuum press...

Generators are the backup that keeps critical operations running when utility power is lost, so they need to be ready when called on.

Unbalanced rotors cause vibration that wears out bearings, seals, and foundations, and balancing them is one of the most effective ways to extend their life. We balance components up to 10,000 pounds using precision equipment, including pump impellers, motor rotors, fans, and turbine parts. Our technicians measure vibration, then add or remove weight until the rotor runs smoothly. We can balance parts in our machine shop or come to your facility for field balancing when removal is not practical....
