This is amongst the best production techniques of Induction motors that I have ever seen. I noticed that when the motor was tested it was elevated from the table and that little sway proves the balancing, both electrically and mechanically was perfect. My congratulations.
Good to know Baldor is still around...They make one workhorse of an industrial motor...Years ago, I once worked in a production machine shop that still had a few old engine and turret lathes for secondary operations that needed main drive motor replacement... "Get that whatever-it-is out of there, and put in a brand-new Baldor!" the boss would say...I never saw any down time after that in those machines, and I was there for fifteen years! Kudos on a dependable product...
For years I worked with Baldor to reliable American made motors for the industrial gizmos I designed. I really appreciated their support and willingness to work with a modestly sized company.
It is always amazing to watch videos such as yours. I love all things mechanical and to see the level of knowledge, effort, and finances that exists behind this operation is truly amazing.
I own a commercial laundry company in Anchorage Alaska and know your motors are top notch first hand. Thank you for your dedication to a great product!
@@goshnodo I am a master electrician and Snow white was my first job in Alaska in 1985. I have worked with Baldor motors in Alaska in fish camps and north slope for about 30 years. Nothing special, they do the job. But as you can see they were civilian close and no industrial umifotms like true professionals. Beacuse today you are machine operator not a journeyman.

I was a Baldor warranty shop in Portland Oregon, Advance Electric Motors since 1986 I retired 5-yrs ago. My partner is STILL promoting Baldor Motors. I just went to a basketball game with Dale H. on Saturday evening. I guess you could say, retirement has been good to us both. YES! YES! YES! Baldor makes a GREAT MOTOR...
Hi Paul, thanks for watching! We appreciate the service you provided from Brooklyn St in Portland all of these years! Enjoy your retirement, sir - we'll keep manufacturing quality motors for your/our customers.
Over the years in HVAC and also medical vacuum and medical air systems, I use a Baldor any time I can for retrofits. They are the best and last the longest. I get all kinds of problems with other brands.
I have bought, sold, and specified your motors, this was fun to watch. Always cool to see high qualty manufacturing still being done in the USA. Baldor has a reputation they can be proud of.
I work for Allmand llc in Holdrege and we manufacture large industrial light towers. We used these generators in our products from the late 90's up to the mid 2000's.
I have a Baldor motor made right here in the U.S. It came with a Lortone lapidary combination unit. Now that I've seen this, I'll have that motor for the rest of my life. :D
There must be a rebuild factor in the design for future service. I've seen videos of motor rebuilders, and they rewind and reassemble them. Complicated stuff. Great video. Well trained staff.
Well done. This is an interesting video. A lot of information I learnt about how induction motor is created. That induction motor is really big and its look very good quality.
Thanks for watching videos. Another one largest Motor manufacturing company I did visited to Taiwan in 2009. Company name is TATUNG origin made by Taiwan. Which is no one brand in Taiwan also famous in the world. So you may can visit to that motor manufacturing company if you interestfill ?
To answer your question Michael, it is not cool. I was a motor rewinder in the NAVY for several years and it is not as "cool" as you think it is. We didn't have some of machinery Baldor has and we didn't do our work in a stable platform. We also didn't have the luxury of doing the rewinding process on the stator only. We man-handled the entire motor at step of the way. This included determining the wiring configuration, removing the old damaged wiring, prepping the stator laminations, making and inserting the coils, dipping and baking of the windings.
I rewound Baldor/Reliance motors on a carrier. When you pull one of those puppies out of the ventilation can the case would have so much rust because of the sea water corrosion. We would wire wheel the case and end bells and varnish them. These motors were tanks.
I always watch this video about once in a year, It works on me like some sort of SMR seeing those windings get pulled trough, and I always chuckle near the end because of that tiny fan being put on such a huge motor and then being guarded by that humongous fan cover, when the fan itself is like the size of a small jet pump 0.75HP motor fan lol
also it's oh so good to see this made hear in the usa!!!!!!! I recently ordered a Stant thermostat for my car..Ive used stant for most my life in everything I worked on...it was made in china and 10 hotter than it should be.never again... made in america is the place to shop!!!
Thanks for your support mark tucker. We continue to manufacture our motors and gearing products where our customers are at. Check out this local manufacturing video for Dodge gearing products: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4on4L2iBeqs.html
Hello Baldor! I am actually working on a Capstone project right now for my Supply Chain Management degree specifically revolving around redesigning an electric motor production facility. I would love to get in touch with one of your engineers regarding some of the processes and materials used throughout the manufacturing flow. What would be the best way to get in contact with you for such a conversation?
I took a whole semester class about electric motors in university yet I am blown away by the way they wind the stator. I just kinda accepted it and never felt like investigating how that was done. Would have never imagined the coil was formed separately and then stuffed into the armature.
Good to see people of all colors, ages, and sexes working together to make Made In USA products. Have used/installed a lot of Baldor motors in my career.

Induction motor are almost indestructible. Also, very safe in explosive environment. Only drawback of induction motor is the huge reactive power they draw from supply to create the magnetic field. That is more prominent under low load conditions. As load increased, the ratio of reactive to active current becomes smaller and hence power factor improves. I worked with GE motors earlier.
Thanks for the insight. Worked for many years in manufacturing in different capacities. Always found that making things gave a person a sense of accomplishment for a day's work. Something you just don't get in other lines of work.
Since this is 10 years old I'd love a more current and up to date video. I want to see what has changed, with maybe a bit more detail--and definitely better video resolution.
I do like seeing Baldor motors on equipment that I have to work on. They are well built motors the shafts are not off slightly like some of the Chinese motors. I really want a big Baldor buffing wheel.
Peter R They knew what company put out the best, most reliable industrial electric motors in the world from the monsters down to a lil 1/2hp machine. Probably why they bought Baldor in the first place, & wanting to keep that going (despite the cost) is why their plants stayed 🇺🇸 instead of turning to 🇲🇽 or even worse 🇨🇳. I know this; When replacing motors I want a Baldor, not some import piece of 💩 that no one had ANY pride in their workmanship! ((WEG is the only import I would even consider)) You get what you pay for. It’s true 99.99% of the time.

I also make these but then without any machine to help me, apart from making the coils. The motors we make aren't really the easiest to make, thats why we still wind the motors with hand from start till finish.
