FAQs
The 7BCEM3554 uses a 56C frame and C‑Face drive end flange designed for flexible mounting. For horizontal, foot‑mounted setups, align the motor’s mounting holes with the base and secure with standard fasteners. Use the C‑Face interface to connect to compatible drive hardware and ensure the shaft key and coupling match your equipment. This streamlines retrofit projects and reduces installation time.
This is a 3‑phase motor rated for 60 Hz with dual voltage of 230 V or 460 V. The nominal current is approximately 4.6 A at 230 V and 2.3 A at 460 V, supporting efficient operation across common service conditions. With a rated speed of 1770 r/min and 1.5 HP output, it delivers reliable torque for general duty applications.
Yes. The motor is designed for continuous duty with a service factor of 1.15 and a TEFC enclosure, providing protection against dust and moisture in typical industrial environments. Its NEMA design B and Premium Efficiency rating support durable operation, making it suitable for pumps, fans, and conveyors in long‑running production lines.
The motor carries NEMA standards, CSA/UR certifications, and Premium Efficiency ratings, offering compliance for United States and international applications. These approvals support safe operation, reliable performance, and eligibility for regulated projects requiring recognized energy and safety certifications.
Maintenance is streamlined by regreasable bearings and a robust TEFC enclosure, reducing lubrication intervals and exposure to contaminants. The 1.5 HP, 56C frame, and dual voltage capability simplify inventory and uptime planning, delivering lower total cost of ownership through longer service intervals, fewer unexpected downtime events, and consistent performance in continuous operations.
