FAQs
The CWDM3537 is a three-phase, 60 Hz motor designed for 208, 230, or 460 V supplies and integrates with standard 56C frame equipment. With foot-mounted and drive-end C-face mounting and a horizontal orientation, it fits most OEM lines. Plan for direct-on-line starts, ensure adequate space for the 3450 r/min rotor speed, and verify RoHS and CSA/UR compliance requirements for your plant.
Key specs include 0.5 HP output, 3-phase operation at 60 Hz, voltage options of 208 V, 230 V, or 460 V, and a rated speed of 3450 r/min with 3600 r/min synchronous speed. Current draw is weighted around 1.9 A / 1.8 A / 0.9 A, and the unit achieves a rated efficiency of about 70% with a Power Factor around 0.76, suitable for standard industrial drives.
Yes. The White Washdown option with a TENV enclosure and 56C frame is designed for wet, high-cleanliness environments. Its life-long lubrication reduces maintenance, and the design includes robust bearings (6205 and 6203) to withstand continuous duty. The motor's NEMA B design and CSA/UR listing support regulatory compliance on food and beverage conveyors and related lines.
CWDM3537 carries CSA and UR listings for safety compliance and RoHS compliance to meet environmental standards. The NEMA design code is B, indicating suitable performance characteristics in typical industrial settings. Use of RoHS materials helps minimize hazardous substances in manufacturing, aiding quality and traceability for regulated industries.
Maintenance is minimized by lubrication for life and a durable ball-bearing arrangement, reducing downtime and service intervals. The direct-on-line starting capability lowers drive system complexity and upfront costs. For ROI, expect longer intervals between bearing maintenance, simpler installation, and dependable performance in continuous-duty washdown applications, contributing to higher line uptime and lower total cost of ownership.
