Premium Efficient
Super-E Motors are designed to conserve energy over extended time per
These premium efficiency designs are available in both Totally Enclosed
Cooled and Open Drip Proof construction. All three phase motors are In
Ready per NEMA Standard MG1, Part 31.4.4.2. This means the motors
and 460 volts meet NEMA's corona inception voltage requirements, und
Standard, and can withstand peak voltages of up to 1600 volts. Motors h
premium efficiency are also available in single phase designs.
Single Phase
In applications where only single phase power is utilized, these motors a
available from 1/12 Hp through 15 Hp in TEFC and ODP designs. Stand
foot mounted configurations are available, as well as C-Face foot mount
C-Face footless. These are also offered in 1/4 Hp through 5 Hp as Super
Premium Efficient motors where energy savings is desired.
General Purpose
Baldor's extensive line of General Purpose motors are available in Open
proof and TEFC construction in both single and three phase. Horsepowe
available from stock range from 1/12 HP through 1500 HP. Designed fo
"general purpose" use means that these motors can be used in applicatio
which include compressors, pumps, fans, conveyors, material handling,
machine tools and many others.
Severe Duty
Severe Duty motors are available from 1 HP to 700 HP. These products
especially designed for those applications requiring protection of the mo
from severe environmental operating conditions. A few typical applicati
which might require these types of motors include petro-chemical plants
mines, foundries, pulp and paper plants, waste management facilities, ro
crushers, and chemical plants.
Washdown
Baldor's Washdown Duty Motors are available from stock in single and
phase AC and in DC designs. Horsepowers range from 1/2 to 20. Design
include motors having an electostatically applied epoxy finish, paint free
major components in 300 series stainless steel, and all stainless steel.
Applications include food processing, packaging, pharmaceuticals, or
applications where motors are regularly exposed to high pressure wash d
Explosion Proof
Baldor's Explosion-proof motors are ideal for a wide variety of applicati
where hazardous fumes or dust may be present. The motors are availabl
three phase and single phase with ratings, in stock, from 1/4 HP through
HP. Designs available include standard foot mounted, C face with base a
face less base, 60 Hz and 50 Hz, Jet Pump motors, and Inverter Drive m
Pump
Our pump line of motors includes single or three phase jet pump motors
square flange motors, close-coupled pump motors, and P-Base vertical s
shaft pump motors. The motors are stocked in totally enclosed fan coole
drip proof, and many explosion proof ratings. Applications for these run
gamut from swimming pool pumps to medium and high thrust in-line pu
used in water treatment plants. Horse powers range in size from 1/3 thro
HP.
Light Industrial / Commercial
Baldor's new Light Industrial / Commercial Motor line offers many ratin
designed for applications with low to medium starting torque requireme
The Baldor Light Industrial / Commercial Motor line brings Baldor's rep
for high quality designs to commercial applications with a cost-effective
offering. This definite purpose product line is designed for certain applic
requiring NEMA 48 and 56 motors rated between 1/4 and 1 1/2 HP, in b
single and three phase ratings. Typical applications include: Jet Pump, H
and Cooling, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Blowers, Direct Drive Fans
Condenser Fans, and Pedestal Fans.
HVAC
Baldor's line of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Motors are
designed with dynamically balanced rotors for reduced vibration and qu
operation. The motors range in size from 1/4 HP to 100 HP and include
duty industrial designs as well as designs for commercial applications. T
applications include ventilators, direct drive and belted fans, exhaust fan
heaters, air conditioning units, and commercial refrigeration condensers
included are motors designed especially for use with variable torque ele
controls that are used to conserve electricity.
Farm Duty
These motors are designed for many of the varied applications found on
farm. Designs include motors suitable for aeration fans, auger drives, gr
stirring, metering pumps, instant reversing, irrigation tower drives, and c
driers. General purpose motors are also available in both single and thre
phase, TEFC and ODP construction. For those loads that are hard to star
require extra torque, Baldor is the only motor manufacturer that stocks
Repulsion-Start Induction Run motors, in sizes from 2 HP to 10 HP.
Definite Purpose
The Definite Purpose family of motors captures a host of variety deman
the marketplace. These motors include TEFC and ODP Two-speed moto
well as single phase Pressure Washer motors. This group of specialty m
includes Arbor Saw to Woodworking, Pre-1952 NEMA motors to SAE
Hydraulic Pump motors. An extensive line of TEFC and ODP F-2 moto
available as well in 1 Hp through 60 Hp. The Automotive Approved mo
approved by major US automobile manufacturers, are available in cast i
designs and meet all requirements for sound power levels. A broad line
Design D Oil Field Pump motors, requiring high torque and high slip, ar
available in 3 Hp through 150 Hp.
Unit Handling
Baldor’s line of Unit handling motors are designed for a wide variety of
applications in baggage handling, conveyors, packaging equipment, mac
tools, hoists, elevators and door openers. These motors are available from
in ratings of ½ HP thru 10HP (56 thru 215T frames) with or without Do
Series brakes. Features include an oversized top mounted conduit box o
140T frames that provide easy access for making connections. Footed fr
include slotted feet for easy mounting.
Brake
Baldor's line of brake motors are available in totally enclosed fan cooled
drip proof, or explosion proof designs, in either single or three phase. St
ratings are available from 1/4 HP through 30 HP. These motors use a
mechanical spring set brake with a manual release. Brake motors may b
on machine tools, conveyors, door operators, speed reducers, hoists, or a
application requiring quick stops and positive holds.
200 & 575 Volt
Some general purpose applications require a motor that runs on 200 volt
power. These 200 volt motors are stocked from 1 Hp to 50 Hp in TEFC,
Hp to 100 Hp in ODP. Also available is an extensive line of 575 volt mo
The 575 volt motors are available in general purpose TEFC and ODP,
Washdown, Severe Duty, IEEE-841, Explosion Proof, and Close-Coupl
pump designs, in a variety of mounting configurations.
IEC Frame
Baldor’s line of IEC frame motors are available from D63 through D315
stocked in 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This means that replacement 60 Hz motors a
