Why Sidewinders Motor Services
Motor repair questions, answered.
Q.01What industrial motor repair services do you offer in Utah?
+
Our Magna, UT shop provides full-scope industrial motor repair and motor rewind services — AC and DC motor repair up to 5,000 HP, stator repair, rotor repair, servo and spindle rebuilds, VPI insulation systems, dynamic balancing, and on-site field service throughout Salt Lake City, Draper, Provo, and the Intermountain West.
Q.02Do you perform root cause analysis on failed motors?
+
Yes. Every incoming motor receives a documented root cause analysis — visual, electrical, and mechanical inspection with surge, hi-pot, IR, and PI testing — so the same failure mode does not return after the rewind.
Q.03How fast can Sidewinders complete an emergency motor rewind?
+
Standard motor rewinds turn in 5–10 business days. Emergency rewinds with 24/7 shop dispatch are available for utility, mining, and process customers — call (385) 900-0017 to start an emergency job at the Magna shop.
Q.04What size and voltage motors can you rewind?
+
We rewind fractional-horsepower servos through 5,000 HP medium-voltage motors, low-voltage random-wound and medium-voltage form-wound stators, plus DC armatures and field coils.
Q.05Do you offer on-site field service for motors in Draper and Salt Lake City?
+
Yes. Field crews dispatch from Magna for vibration analysis, laser alignment, on-site testing, and emergency motor swaps across Draper, Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and the rest of Utah.
