US-Made Face-Mount AC Motors




Wound, wired, and assembled in the U.S. These motors are manufactured for durability and include high-quality bearings, so they hold up to occasional overload conditions and spikes in torque. They bolt directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery. These motors are more compact than base-mount motors and the direct, rigid connection to your equipment keeps them aligned. Rated for continuous duty, they’re often used with equipment that requires constant power, like fans, pumps, and conveyors.
When pairing with a variable frequency drive (AC motor speed control), choose a three-phase motor that’s inverter rated.
Enclosures that are open have vents that let air flow over the motor, which keeps it cool and helps it run efficiently. Use them in clean, dry environments—the enclosure blocks drips and debris that fall from above, but dust and moisture can pass through the vents. Open drip proof (ODP) enclosures have vents. Open drip proof tandem fan (ODTF) enclosures have vents and an external fan that blows air over the motor.
Enclosures that are totally enclosed don’t have vents, so they can be used in damp and dirty environments. They’re not airtight, but since air isn’t flowing inside the enclosure, the motor won’t run as efficiently as it would in an open enclosure. Totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosures have an external fan that blows air over the outside of the enclosure to keep the motor cool. Totally enclosed non-ventilated (TENV) enclosures are designed for use without a fan, so they’re more compact and easier to maintain. However, the motor gets warmer and runs less efficiently than it would with a fan to cool it.
Optional drip covers are recommended when your motor will be mounted with the shaft facing down. They attach to the back side of the motor to prevent moisture from pooling on top.

US-Made Base/Face-Mount AC Motors



Wound, wired, and assembled in the U.S. These motors are manufactured for durability and include high-quality bearings, so they hold up to occasional overload conditions and spikes in torque. Whether you’re switching between jobs or need flexibility during installation, these motors give you a variety of mounting options. Mount the feet to a flat surface or bolt the face directly to a gearbox, pump, or other machine. You can also do both at once for added stability in applications with high loads or vibration. They’re rated for continuous duty, so they’re often used with equipment that requires constant power, such as fans, pumps, and conveyors.
When pairing with a variable frequency drive (AC motor speed control), choose a three-phase motor that’s inverter rated.
Enclosures that are totally enclosed don’t have vents, so they can be used in damp and dirty environments. They’re not airtight, but since air isn’t flowing inside the enclosure, the motor won’t run as efficiently as it would in an open enclosure. Totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosures have an external fan that blows air over the outside of the enclosure to keep the motor cool. Totally enclosed non-ventilated (TENV) enclosures are designed for use without a fan, so they’re more compact and easier to maintain. However, the motor gets warmer and runs less efficiently than it would with a fan to cool it.
Optional drip covers are recommended when your motor will be mounted with the shaft facing down. They attach to the back side of the motor to prevent moisture from pooling on top.

Face-Mount AC Motors



Bolt these motors directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery. They’re more compact than base-mount motors and the direct, rigid connection to your equipment helps keep them aligned. Rated for continuous duty, they are often used with equipment that requires constant power, such as fans and conveyors. These motors are inverter-rated, so you can use them with a variable frequency drive (AC motor speed control).
A totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosure means you can use them in damp and dirty environments since they don’t have vents. They have an external fan that blows air over the outside of the enclosure to keep the motor cool. They’re not airtight, but since air isn’t flowing inside the enclosure, the motor won’t run as efficiently as it would in an open enclosure.
Motors with a NEMA frame size have an oversized shaft and high-quality bearings to stand up to heavy and side loads better than even our domestic motors. Densely packed windings and thin laminations ensure the motor stays cool and runs efficiently.

Base/Face-Mount AC Brake Motors



When these motors lose power, a brake engages to hold your equipment’s position, unlike standard AC motors. They’re often used with conveyors to keep items in place after a power loss, and with hoists to stop them from dropping a load. Mount them from the base or face. Rated for continuous duty, these motors can run equipment that never turns off. Their shaft is keyed, and they come with key stock. These motors have a TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) enclosure that protects better than an ODP (open dripproof) enclosure. They aren’t airtight, but they can be used in dirty, dusty, and damp environments. To keep the motor cool, the enclosure has an external fan that blows air over the outside of the motor.

Sanitary Washdown Face-Mount AC Motors




Bolt these motors directly to conveyors and other machines to power equipment on food and sanitary lines. They help you meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) since they have many features that make them safe for sanitary and washdown environments. Smooth contours and a laser-marked nameplate limit the space where bacteria could grow. They don’t have feet, so they’re easy to rinse down thoroughly. A stainless steel enclosure, epoxy resin lined interior, and IP69 rating mean they withstand hot spraying water, harsh cleaners, and sanitizers common to food plants. A two-barrier seal keeps water from getting in through the shaft. If water does seep in, drain plugs let it out.
These motors are also called C-face motors. They’re rated for continuous duty, so they’ll run equipment that never turns off. Inverter rated, they also work with variable frequency drive (VFD) to run at different speeds. You can wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. Their conduit box also rotates to connect conduit from any side without needing to reroute power.
TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motors have a fan that cools the housing.
TENV (totally enclosed nonventilated) motors don’t need a fan or ventilation. They have even fewer places for water and contaminants to get in than TEFC motors.

Base/Face-Mount AC Motors



Whether you’re switching between jobs or need flexibility during installation, these motors give you a variety of mounting options. Fix the feet to a flat surface or bolt the face directly to a gearbox, pump, or other machinery. You can also do both at once for added stability in applications with high loads or vibration. These motors are rated for continuous duty, so they’re often used for equipment that requires constant power, such as fans, pumps, and conveyors. They’re also inverter-rated, so you can use them with a variable frequency drive (AC motor speed control).
A totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) enclosure means you can install them in damp and dirty environments since they don’t have vents. An external fan blows air over the outside of the enclosure to keep these motors cool. They’re not airtight, but since air isn’t flowing inside the enclosure, the motor won’t run as efficiently as it would in an open enclosure.
These motors have an oversized shaft and high-quality bearings to stand up to heavy and side loads better than even our domestic motors. Densely packed windings and thin laminations ensure the motor stays cool and runs efficiently.
