Does rewinding reduce electric motor efficiency?

  This 4 minute video explains why rewinding an electric motor does NOT reduce efficiency….providing it is done correctly with the correct processes, tools and follows the strict guidelines set out by EASA & AEMT. Here’s a link to the guidelines if you wish to read for yourself – Motor rewind efficiency study    

“You can’t just switch it off and back on again, it’s not a computer!”

Whilst this may work when your PC or laptop stops working properly, it’s definitely not the thing to do when industrial automation equipment stops working. It might sound pretty obvious really but it is something that happens all too often. Just think about it for a moment, your machine tool or CNC stops working. There’s a reason for it, some …

“White gloves in a repair workshop. I bet they don’t stay white for long!”

I have no idea what people expect when they visit a workshop, I should say that these people were buyers and not engineers. Maybe engineering still holds onto it’s wrongly-perceived image of ‘being dirty’ but engineering isn’t always about dirty shitty environments. Ok, sometimes we …

And, If you’re the one responsible for getting your plant back up and running again, the answer might not be in your best interests either. Just consider this for a moment. You ask two people that same …

These electric motors help reduce vehicle emissions.

It’s more by accident rather than by design that my recent posts have featured technology and processes that are environmentally friendly. This one, as it so happens, is the same. We’re all I expect very used to traditional electric motors in my posts, but here’s one that is a little different. If you’ve not seen one of these before, it …
