The 7BCEM2516T pairs a 25 HP, 3‑phase design with a 60 Hz supply, delivering robust continuous-duty performance for pumping, conveying, and processing lines. This translates to lower downtime and consistent torque during peak loads, improving line throughput and reducing energy waste through IE3 premium efficiency. With a 256TC frame and OPSB enclosure, installation and retrofitting are straightforward across open, industrial environments, while C‑face mounting supports flexible alignment with existing equipment. Regreasable bearings (6309/6208 era) extend service intervals and cut maintenance costs, especially in harsh or dusty plant floors. The motor’s footprint supports simple substitutions in legacy systems, and the direct-on-line starting profile minimizes control complexity and starter sizing. Stocked at multiple warehouses with short lead times enhances project scheduling for OEMs and integrators.

FAQs
The 7BCEM2516T uses a 256TC frame and supports C‑Face mounting, which aligns with a wide range of open‑frame and face‑mounted drives. It simplifies retrofits by matching common shaft dimensions and bolt patterns, reducing the need for intermediate adapters. Installation best practices include verifying shaft alignment, proper coupling selection, and ensuring the enclosure remains accessible for maintenance. For OEMs upgrading lines, this compatibility minimizes downtime and preserves existing mechanical interfaces.
Key specifications include 25 HP output, 3515 r/min nominal speed, 60 Hz, 230/460 V dual voltage, 3 phases, and a 60‑minute duty rating. Efficiency is IE3 (premium), with a power factor around 89%, and rated currents of 56 A / 28 A. The motor features a 1.63 in shaft diameter, 256TC frame, and OPSB enclosure, making it suitable for continuous operation in demanding environments. These specs support reliable operation across pumps, conveyors, and fans in industrial settings.
Yes. The motor is designed for continuous duty (60 Min) with a robust OPSB enclosure, ball bearings, and insulation class F, which support sustained operation in open, harsh environments. Its 3‑phase 230/460 V supply and 256TC frame provide compatibility with standard plant electrical systems and retrofit pathways. For reliability, pair with proper cooling, routine lubrication of regreasable bearings, and appropriate drive controls to maximize uptime in continuous processes such as pumping and material handling.
The 7BCEM2516T carries CSA, CSA EEV and UR certifications, supporting regulatory compliance in North American facilities. It aligns with IE3 premium efficiency standards and is listed under NEMA standards for performance and safety. With an OPSB enclosure and robust frame construction, it meets industry expectations for durable, compliant operation in open industrial environments and scalable OEM installations.
Regreasable bearings reduce replacement intervals and maintenance downtime, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. The motor’s high efficiency (IE3) lowers energy consumption in steady‑state operation, improving annual operating costs. Its stock availability and 0‑day lead time minimize project delays, providing faster time‑to‑production and improved ROI for OEMs and maintenance teams. The combination of a rugged OPSB enclosure and standard mounting options also simplifies spares management and field service.
