Swift rewinds that save money

Armature Rewinds

Most businesses wait days — even weeks — for motor repair. At Mawdsleys, we don’t believe in waiting. We’re a team of seasoned engineers, specialists in armature rewinding. And we do it all under one roof — inspecting, rewinding, testing and shipping — fast. That’s not a promise. It’s how we’ve kept thousands of machines running because every hour your motor is down, your business is paying for it.

Common causes of armature failure

Our experienced engineers have completed hundreds of armature rewinds and we see the same problems over and over again:

Worn commutators – Damage or grooves wear down carbon brushes quickly, leading to failure. Look out for burn marks or uneven surfaces.

Excessive vibration – Often caused by misalignment or damaged components. This can lead to overheating and serious armature damage.

Worn carbon brushes – A simple issue that can lead to major problems. Signs include sparking, carbon dust, or reduced motor power.

Burning out – Caused by overloading or poor airflow. If your armature has burned out, a rewind is essential.

Earthing/grounding faults – When windings make contact with the metal core — a potentially serious electrical fault.

What is a motor armature?

The armature is the rotating component of the motor that houses the windings and works with the magnetic field to produce torque.

What are the signs that the armature needs winding?

Signs which indicate that armature rewind is necessary include burning smell, sparking at the brushes, motor not reaching full speed, and decreased power.

How do I know if the armature needs rewinding or more in-depth repair?

We are DC motor armature specialists and we pride ourselves for giving you the whole picture. Once our inspection is complete we will provide you with a report and advice for further action. Get in touch today.
