Joy 600128-0735 Historical Rewind – 250 HP 950 V
Reference only. This low-voltage motor is outside our current service scope. TEMISA accepts medium- and high-voltage motors only.
In short
The 600128-0735 is a 250 HP, 950 V, 1,775 rpm cutter motor on frame 20B350J. TEMISA rewound one in March 2026 for an underground mine in Mexico: it arrived grounded at 0.03 MΩ and left at 6,700 MΩ, PI 7.94, 0% surge unbalance, with new form-wound Class H coils, restored bearing fits and a balanced rotor.

Scope of work
Documented repair process: winding and enclosure
| What we upgrade | What we never change |
|---|---|
| Stator rewound with new form-wound coils | Explosion-proof enclosure |
| Class H insulation system | Flame-path surfaces and their dimensions |
| Varnish treatment with dehydration and controlled oven cure | Lead entrances |
| Bearing fits restored to ANSI/EASA AR100 tolerances | Mounting and shaft dimensions |
| New bearings, induction-mounted, and new seals | Nameplate rating: HP, voltage and speed stay as built |
| Rotor dynamically balanced | |
| Temperature sensors (RTDs) tested |
Enclosure dimensions are not modified. Before a rebuilt explosion-proof motor goes back underground, the mine's qualified electrical person inspects it, as MSHA regulations require.

What happens to your motor at TEMISA
1Teardown and diagnosis
The failed winding is exposed and documented before anything is quoted.
2Form-wound coils
New coils are formed and taped in the shop; the core is checked first.
3Varnish and oven cure
The winding is dehydrated, varnished and cured in a controlled oven.
4Dynamic balance
The rotor is balanced and the residual unbalance is recorded.
5Release tests
Static and dynamic tests are recorded before the motor ships.
Photos taken at the TEMISA shop. They show the process, not a specific customer motor.
