Extreme Durability for Extreme Environments

DuraCORE™ motors are Windings latest innovation in providing downhole drilling motor solutions for the oil & gas industry. Thanks to a partnership with W.L. Gore & Associates™, in an effort to create a more durable and resilient motor for the oil & gas industry, Windings engineers were able to utilize GORE Magnet Wire. GORE Magnet Wire features the ability to survive downhole temperatures up to 260°C, operate at pressures up to 30,000 psi, and deliver exceptional resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis due to specialized insulation materials. What they created is, one of the most rugged, resistant and reliable electric motors on the market today, made possible due to GORE Magnet Wire’s revolutionary insulation, and superior environmental performance in contrast to the industry standard polyimide insulated magnet wire.

GORE Magnet Wire vs. Polyimide Wire

When we set out to design the ideal motor for downhole applications, we knew standard polyimide wire would not be sufficient for these extreme environments. Consider the capabilities of DuraCORE™ with GORE Magnet Wire.​

Rugged: Heat & Pressure don’t frighten us.

  • Up to 260°C
  • Up to 30 Kpsi​

Resistant: Hard conditions? Bring it.

  • Purposefully designed for exceptional resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis.
  • Shock tested and passed at 500G’s and vibration tested and passed at 20G’s at 2,000Hz.

Reliable: Motors ready to go the distance.

  • Field tests confirmed motors with GORE Magnet Wire operate 10x longer than motors with regular polyimide wire.
  • Every DuraCORE™ Motor goes through our rigorous multipoint inspection before it ships.
