Precision-Engineered 3-Phase Industrial Electric Motors
Louis Allis specializes in the engineering, custom design, and manufacturing of severe-duty three-phase industrial electric motors tailored for the world's most demanding procurement specifications. From single one-off engineered replacements to large industrial production runs, our facility builds robust electrical machinery capable of exceeding standard NEMA, IEEE, and IEC operational boundaries.
Our engineering capabilities cover AC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors, AC Wound Rotor Motors, AC Synchronous Motors, and Large Industrial DC Motors. Furthermore, Louis Allis is officially certified for MIL-STD-2037 Navy Sealed System Windings, guaranteeing that our marine and defense electrical drive solutions meet strict environmental and operational thresholds required for continuous oceanic duty.
When legacy motor manufacturers discontinue support for mature equipment, industrial plants turn to Louis Allis for direct drop-in, exact mechanical and electrical fit-and-function replacement motors.

Custom Electric Motor Manufacturing
Louis Allis designs and manufactures custom three-phase electric motors from the ground up for OEMs and plant end-users. Our electrical and mechanical design engineers utilize advanced 3D CAD modeling and electromagnetic finite element analysis (FEA) to deliver tailored motor performance curves matching your exact driven equipment.
- Custom Shaft Extensions & Mounting Dimensions
- Special Torque Speed Characteristics (Design D, High Inertia)
- Reinforced Bearing Systems (Sleeve & Anti-Friction)
- Severe Duty Corrosion-Resistant Exterior Coatings
Drop-In "Fit and Function" Replacements
Replacing obsolete or aging specialty electric motors often presents structural and alignment challenges. Louis Allis reverse-engineers legacy units from any global OEM manufacturer (GE, Westinghouse, Siemens, ABB, Reliance, Toshiba, etc.) to fabricate a brand-new electric motor that drops directly onto existing mounting pads, piping, and electrical conduits without plant modifications.
Save millions in structural retrofits and civil engineering costs by sourcing direct drop-in replacement motors designed to match historical foot-to-shaft centerlines and shaft dimensions precisely.
Factory Recertification Program
When lead times for a brand-new motor build are incompatible with project schedules, our Factory Recertification Program offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative. We remanufacture surplus or legacy motor cores back to original OEM factory specs with new VPI insulation systems, dynamic balancing, and comprehensive full-voltage load testing.
All Louis Allis Factory Recertified Motors include a Full One-Year Warranty, providing new-motor reliability at a fraction of the cost and lead time.
Original Legacy Louis Allis Design Archives
With over 2 million specialty motors manufactured over our 120-year history, Louis Allis maintains an extensive archive of proprietary engineering drawings, winding datasheets, and structural blueprints. We provide genuine replacement parts, exact rewinds, and original duplicate builds for legacy installed machinery operating in power stations, mines, and naval vessels across the globe.
