Inverter-Rated Motors | McMaster-Carr

Wound, wired, and assembled in the U.S. Whether you’re switching between jobs or need flexibility during installation, these motors give you a variety of mounting options.

US-Made Face-Mount AC Motors

Wound, wired, and assembled in the U.S. They bolt directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery.

Face-Mount AC Motors

Bolt these motors directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery.

Base-Mount AC Motors

To get equipment moving, bolt the base of these motors to any flat surface and connect the shaft to your load.

Hazardous Location Base-Mount AC Motors

These motors are rated for environments where hazardous material is present.

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.

Base/Face-Mount AC Brake Motors

When these motors lose power, a brake engages to hold your equipment’s position, unlike standard AC motors. Mount them from the base or face.

Base-Mount AC Brake Motors

Unlike standard AC motors, these motors have an integrated brake that activates after a power loss to hold your equipment in place. Mount their base to flat surfaces.

Face-Mount AC Brake Motors

A built-in brake engages to hold your equipment in place when these motors lose power, unlike standard AC motors. Also known as C-face motors, these bolt directly to your equipment.

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.

Sanitary Washdown Face-Mount AC Motors

Bolt these motors directly to conveyors and other machines to power equipment on food and sanitary lines.

Brushless DC Motors

Since there are no brushes to add weight and friction, these motors can achieve a higher torque-to-weight ratio, faster speeds, and better efficiency than DC motors with brushes.

Speed-Control Motors

Programmable Base/Face-Mount
Speed-Control Motors

These speed-control motors combine a variable-frequency drive and motor into one, saving space in your control panel and reducing the amount of wiring required.

Programmable Face-Mount Speed-Control Motors

A variable-frequency drive and motor in one unit, these motors save space in your control panel and require less wiring than separate drives and motors. They bolt directly to gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery.

Programmable Base-Mount Speed-Control Motors

Save space in your control panel with a variable-frequency drive and motor in one unit. These motors require less wiring than motors that need to be attached to a separate drive.

AC Electric Gearmotors

Right-Angle AC Gearmotors

A motor and speed reducer in one, these gearmotors have hypoid gears for energy-efficient operation.

AC Gearmotors

Turn speed into torque with these AC-powered gearmotors—they combine a motor and a speed reducer into one.

Speed-Control Right-Angle AC Gearmotors

A good solution for tight spaces, these gearmotors let you control the start, stop, rotation direction, and speed while transmitting motion at a 90° angle from the motor, so you can mount them alongside your application.

Speed-Control AC Gearmotors

Start, stop, reverse direction, and control the speed of these gearmotors from the mounted keypad. These gearmotors are both a motor and speed reducer in one to lower speed while increasing torque.

Washdown AC Gearmotors

IP rated, these gearmotors stand up to high-pressure washdowns. They combine a motor with a speed reducer to lower speed while increasing torque.

Washdown Right-Angle AC Gearmotors

Run high-torque, low speed applications in cramped areas that are frequently hosed down. To save space, these transmit motion at a 90° angle from the the body of the motor, so they're positioned alongside equipment when mounted.
