BIRS Machine & Supply – Your Source for Creepage Bands / Transband
Need reliable creepage protection for electric motors?
BIRS Machine & Supply supplies high-quality PTFE creepage bands (including Transband-style seamless bands) for motor repair and rebuild work.
What is a Creepage Band?
A seamless PTFE (Teflon) insulating band applied to the outer end of the commutator on a motor rotor/armature. It blocks surface current tracking (creepage) between the live commutator bars and the grounded rotor core or shaft.
Common Applications:
• DC motors & generators
• Traction motors (mining, rail, industrial)
• Large industrial motors
• Commutator end insulation during armature rewinds
• High-voltage / high-temperature motor environments
• Anywhere tracking resistance and dielectric strength are critical
PTFE creepage bands offer excellent dielectric strength, chemical resistance, low friction, and high-temperature performance — exactly what motor shops need for lasting repairs.

Custom FR4 Shaker Mount Plate
This 3/8” thick × 8.000” × 30.000” FR4 plate was precision-machined for a vibratory shaker application. Bolt-hole pattern cut clean and true for reliable mounting, with the dimensional stability and strength FR4 is known for.
FR4 (flame-retardant fiberglass epoxy laminate) delivers:
• Excellent mechanical strength and rigidity
• Superior electrical insulation
• Dimensional stability under load and temperature
• Flame-retardant performance (UL 94 V-0)
Whether you need one-off prototypes or production runs of custom insulating plates, structural components, or industrial fixtures, we machine FR4 and other engineered plastics right here in Anniston / Eastaboga, AL.

Custom machined LE phenolic gear, cut by B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply in Anniston, Alabama, from a sample of a molded Bakelite gear made in the 1940s.
The original was a molded phenolic gear that is no longer manufactured. This replacement is a machined linen phenolic (NEMA Grade LE) spur gear with a splined bore, made so the old drive can run again. LE phenolic is a fine-weave linen fabric laminate bonded with phenolic resin. It machines clean tooth flanks, runs quieter than steel, absorbs shock, and will not gall a mating metal gear.
BIRS Machine & Supply duplicates and remakes gears that catalogs dropped years ago: phenolic, Micarta, Bakelite-style, canvas phenolic (C/CE), linen phenolic (L/LE), nylon, acetal, and metal. Send the sample, a print, or a broken piece. We identify the tooth form and cut a new one.
Custom machined LE phenolic gears. Obsolete gear replacement. Bakelite gear duplicate. Phenolic gear machining in Alabama.
