Why our repair engineers never say dye...

No corrosion now: The competed repair in our service centre.

This was the state of the motor (right) we received for repair from a Yorkshire textile dyeing company. 

​The corrosion was so severe that the nameplate had long since disintegrated, meaning further investigation was required.
 
But this was no simple stripping down. Our engineers needed to grind it apart in order to access the stator windings as all the nuts and bolts were seized.
 
One challenge was to establish the speed at which the motor operated. To do this, our rewinder had to look at the winding and use his years of experience to recognise the coil layout and certain other particulars.

He quickly established beyond doubt it was a four-pole motor (1500RPM). The completed job, with new motor and pulley, was then returned to a satisfied customer.
