Feature TEFC enclosure provides rugged protection for windings, bearings, and seals, enabling reliable operation in dusty or damp environments. The 256TC frame with C-face mounting and foot-mount compatibility aligns with many legacy bases and gearboxes, making retrofits straightforward and minimizing mechanical integration work. This 3-phase, dual voltage motor runs at 60 Hz with a rated speed of 3520 r/min, and features a compact footprint of roughly 27 in long by 17.4 in high and 20.5 in wide, helping fit standard 256TC bases and matching shaft couplings. Energy efficiency is a core business driver; this motor meets IE3 premium efficiency targets, which translates to lower energy bills for pumps, fans, and conveyors across manufacturing processes. The service factor of 1.15 provides a safety margin for brief overloads, while insulation class F supports reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to 40 C and altitudes up to 1000 m. Certifications such as CSA, CSA EEV, UR, and NEMA alignment simplify qualification and factory testing, reducing procurement risk. From a maintenance perspective, the motor uses regreasable bearings and a robust 6309 ball bearing arrangement, extending service intervals and simplifying lubrication routines. Direct On Line starting keeps electrical complexity low for standard duty applications, while the 1.63 in shaft diameter and TEFC design ensure compatibility with common couplings and protective enclosures. The motor is designed for horizontal mounting in F1 position and uses a C-face drive end flange for versatile installation. Availability is a key value proposition: stock is stored at multiple warehouses including the United States, Europe, and Asia, with 0 day lead times reported by supplier data. This model supports quick commissioning, minimal downtime, and predictable project timelines. Made in the United States, it carries traceability and warranty terms that simplify after-sales support, while offering broad voltage tolerance and a robust build that lowers total cost of ownership over the motor’s life.
