    Motor Rewinding Insulation Materials

    Phenolic Fibreglass Slot Sticks for Electric Motor Rewinding

    Phenolic epoxy glass slot sticks are rigid electrical insulation wedges used to secure and separate winding coils within motor stator slots during motor rewinding and repair. Manufactured from glass reinforced phenolic laminate, they provide strong mechanical support combined with reliable dielectric insulation performance in demanding electrical applications.

    These slot wedges are commonly used in electric motors, generators, alternators and rotating electrical equipment where long-term dimensional stability, insulation reliability and resistance to heat and vibration are important.
