US-Made Base-Mount AC Motors
Wound, wired, and assembled in the U.S. These base-mount motors are manufactured for durability and include high-quality bearings, so they hold up to occasional overload conditions and spikes in torque. Rated for continuous duty, they’re often used with equipment that requires constant power, such as fans, pumps, and conveyors. Bolt the base of these motors to any flat surface and connect the shaft to your load.
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) and open slotted band (OPSB) enclosures only have vents. Open drip proof tandem fan (ODTF) enclosures also have 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. They’re more compact than TEFC enclosures, and unlike TEAO enclosures, they can be installed in areas without airflow. However, motors with TENV enclosures are the least efficient because there is no active cooling.
Motors with overload protection turn off in overload conditions to prevent motor damage. Manual overload protection must be reset manually to start the motor after it cools. 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 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.

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. 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.

Hazardous Location Base-Mount AC Motors
These motors are rated for environments where hazardous material is present. They are continuous duty and mount horizontally. You can wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. The base is welded to the enclosure.
Motors with automatic overload protection turn off in overload conditions to prevent motor damage and start automatically after they cool.
Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.

Sanitary Washdown Base/Face-Mount AC Motors
For versatility in food and sanitary lines, these motors mount by their feet or bolt directly to equipment to power pumps and other machines. Many features make them safe for sanitary and washdown environments: Smooth contours and a laser-marked nameplate limit where bacteria could grow. A stainless steel enclosure, epoxy resin lined interior, and IP69 rating mean they stand up to hot spraying water, chemicals, and harsh cleaners often used in food plants. A two-barrier seal on the shaft stops water from getting in. If water does seep in, drain plugs let it out.
Rated for continuous duty, these motors run equipment that never turns off. They’re also inverter rated, so they work with variable frequency drive (VFD) to run at different speeds. You can wire for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation; instructions are included. The conduit box also rotates, so there’s no need to reroute power when connecting conduit.
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.

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.
