⚠️ This is what happens when you think more grease = more protection. It doesn’t. 👇

🔴 Over-greasing is one of the leading causes of bearing failure — and it’s 100% preventable.
🔥 Excess grease generates heat — it churns inside the housing, breaks down rapidly, and carbonises (that’s the black sludge you’re looking at).
💨 Blown seals let grease migrate into the windings — this can turn a cheap maintenance job into a full motor rewind or replacement.
💸 The cost of a trigger happy grease gun? Dollars spent on grease. Thousands lost in repairs and downtime.
✅ Always follow the manufacturer’s regreasing specification — correct type, correct quantity, correct interval. When in doubt, ask an expert.
📞 Got a motor running hot or making noise? Don’t ignore it — call GEM Electric Motors before it becomes a bigger problem. “Service that’s a cut above”

A huge thank you to our friends Gretel and Roscoe from Roscoe’s Rewinds & Repairs in Dunedin, New Zealand, for taking the time to visit us 🙌

It was great catching up and sharing stories — always good to connect with people who understand the ups and downs of the industry and the journey of building something from the ground up. We really appreciate the support and the time you took to come by the new workshop.

Looking forward to the next catch-up and continuing to share the ride! 👊⚡

— Nick & Madi

Caught up with our friends yestersay at GEM Electric in Shepperton, Victoria, Australia.
Was really nice to see another motor rewinder setting up a new shop and giving it a go!!
We have a lot in common, really enjoyed sharing stories about getting started, growth issues, suppliers, competitors and the customers that had faith and supported us from the beginning and the new ones we have collected along the way 😀
Until next time Nick and Madi 🙌
