AC motor rewind / refurbish
Complete rewind and refurbish of all AC motors up to 1000 V.
Edenvale · Gauteng · Since 1965
From a lawn-mower motor to a 580 kW workhorse — AC and DC rewinds, re-baring, re-insulation and testing, done in-house. Sixty years, one workshop, 23 people who know how a motor should sound.
What we do
If it has windings, we can strip it, rewind it, re-insulate it and prove it. Most work never leaves the premises.

The workshop
O.L. Gustavo Armature Winders was established by the brothers OL and HV Gustavo and has been rewinding motors in Edenvale ever since — through six decades of South African industry, and through every size of job that comes through the door.
Today the workshop runs on 23 people with years of hands-on experience, and management holding BSc degrees. Motors are stripped, wound, varnished, encapsulated, balanced and tested in-house — so nothing is lost in transit and nothing is guessed at.
How it works
Phone, email or WhatsApp us the details — motor size, application, what it’s doing (or not doing). Bring it in or arrange collection with us.
We strip and inspect the unit, then come back to you with what’s actually wrong and a quote before any work starts.
New windings, insulation, varnish impregnation or epoxy encapsulation as the job requires — all done under our own roof.
Growler testing and balancing, then the motor goes back to you ready to run.
Reputation
Our Google rating comes from customers who walked in with a dead motor and walked out with a working one. It’s the most honest advert we have — and it only grows if people leave one.
