Advanced Motor Repair Facilities

From minor faults to complete motor rebuilds, we’re equipped to handle all types of repairs, using a full range of specialised equipment and diagnostic tools, as well as in-house expertise. Our facilities include automated winding machines for precise rewinds, specialist burn-off and bake-off ovens for insulation removal and curing, and advanced electrical and mechanical testing equipment to correctly diagnose faults and maintain performance.

Every motor undergoes a thorough inspection before, during and after repair, ensuring it’s restored to the optimal performance, safety and reliability standards before being returned to service.

Testing, Diagnostic & Quality Assurance

Providing a quality service is essential to every repair RJW carries out. Our process of diagnosing and testing includes a wide range of electrical and mechanical testing procedures, from static and dynamic testing to vibration analysis and fault diagnostics. Also, when applicable, motors are tested under load conditions to ensure they perform as expected when back on-site. RJW believes that with a thorough and comprehensive approach, every motor we return is not just repaired, but optimised for long-term use and reliability.

Unexpected and abrupt failures can bring operations to a halt, which is why RJW offers a responsive and on-site emergency repair service.

Frequently Asked Motor Repair Questions

What types of electrical motors can you repair?

We repair a wide variety of electrical motors, including AC and DC motors, single phase and three phase motors, along with high voltage, low voltage, and inverter-driven motors. Our engineering and repairs team are also experienced in repairing motors used in pumps, fans, conveyors, and other industrial machines.

How do I know if my motor can be repaired?

In most cases, a motor repair is needed rather than a motor replacement. Common issues such as worn bearings, insulation failure, or damaged windings can almost always be resolved through professional repair. When you contact our team, we will conduct a thorough examination to determine the condition and the most cost-effective solution.

How long does an electric motor repair take?

Repair times will always vary depending on the motor and extent of the damage, and the complexity of the repair will typically always reflect the turnaround time. Minor damage and repairs can expect a speedy repair; however, more complex rewinds or rebuilds will take longer. We always aim for the fastest turnaround for all our clients, and can prioritise urgent repairs when needed.

Is it better to repair or replace an electric motor?

This depends on multiple factors, from the age of the motor to the cost of repair. In most cases, a repair is all that’s needed; however, our engineers will always recommend the best course of action depending on the motor’s condition.

Do you offer emergency electric motor repairs?

Yes, we do offer an emergency repair service to help minimise disruption and reduce downtime for your operations. Our team can quickly respond, assess, diagnose the issue, and arrange repairs immediately to get your machinery back up and running.
