FAQs
The BM3108 is designed as a foot-mounted motor with a standard drive end flange, enabling horizontal mounting and straightforward retrofits into existing frames without major structural changes.
Key specs include 0.5 HP at 230 V, 60 Hz, 3-phase, 1725 rpm (56 frame), and a rated current of 2 A / 1 A. These values support compact, efficient operation on typical packaging and conveying lines while maintaining reliable torque.
Yes. The motor includes a built-in brake, offering holding torque when power is removed, which is advantageous for positioning and safety-critical stops in conveyors and packaging equipment.
The BM3108 carries CSA | UR certification and adheres to NEMA Design Code B, ensuring regulatory compliance in North American facilities and compatibility with common safety and electrical standards.
Regreasable bearings reduce maintenance frequency, while an open enclosure simplifies cooling and inspection. Coupled with multiple warehouse stock and a 0 day lead time, this supports high uptime and lower lifecycle costs.
