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.

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.

Enclosures that are totally enclosed don’t have vents, so they can be used in wet 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.
