Remanufacture
Repair Services
Repair reliability is directly proportional to the quality of engineering invested in the repair process. Matlock Electric offers comprehensive electric motor repair and motor test services. Our state-of-the-art motor repair and electrical equipment testing facility, centrally located in Cincinnati, Ohio, provides the fastest service and repair solutions
24 hours a day - 7 days a week.
For over 90 years we have been have been repairing and remanufacturing industrial electric equipment and electric motors. This experience has resulted in the superior workmanship we include in every project entrusted to us. All work meets or exceeds the specifications of the original equipment, and is raised to a higher level of quality: our nationally recognized rebuild specifications.
Experienced Electrical Technicians
The combined talents of our technicians represent over 500 years of experience, which make Matlock Service the hallmark for electric equipment services in the Midwest.
Our plant is equipped to remanufacture and service electrical and mechanical apparatus such as AC Motors and DC Motors from fractional through 15,000 horse power, generators, transformers, servo motors and drives.
Mechanical repair capabilities include the repair of pumps, fans, blowers, clutches and gearboxes.
Our 3 year warranty is a direct reflection of our commitment to quality.
Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI)
Matlock Electric has a capability that provides the ultimate in rewind quality and electrical performance. That capability is Vacuum Pressure Impregnation or VPI.
Motors, generators, and coils up to seven feet in diameter are processed under vacuum and pressure with solventless epoxy resin to provide void-free electrical windings. The VPI process provides maximum penetration of resin throughout the turns of individual coils.
VPI is greatly superior to solvent varnishes and the conventional “dip and bake” method. Solvent varnishes lose 50% to 70% of volume during baking, leaving voids and air pockets in the windings. A weak sponge-like structure results. VPI provides a 100% solid mass structure that gives you the greatest mechanical strength, a cooler running motor due to superior heat dissipation, and the highest level of environmental protection. A motor winding that undergoes VPI is virtually impervious to oil, moisture, and chemical contaminants. VPI may be used for AC motor, DC stators, armatures, field coils, and applications such as lifting magnets. Large frame motors from 460 volts through 13,800 volts should receive VPI to ensure the longest attainable service life.
