FAQs
CWDM3538-H supports horizontal mounting with a C-face drive end flange and foot-mounted base, matching common conveyor and pump configurations. This enables precise alignment, reduces vibration, and simplifies retrofit installations in existing sanitary lines, helping technicians achieve quick, reliable setups with minimal rework.
CWDM3538-H is a 3-phase motor operable at 230 V or 460 V with 60 Hz frequency. Rated current varies by voltage (approximately 1.9 A at 230 V, 1.8 A at 460 V, 0.9 A in some conditions). It uses Direct On Line starting to deliver immediate full torque for efficient startup of conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The motor is designed for sanitary environments with a TENV enclosure and 40 °C ambient tolerance, plus a white-washdown description and rugged steel frame. Its 0.5 HP output, 3-phase supply, and robust bearings make it well-suited for equipment that experiences frequent washdown and high moisture in food processing and packaging lines.
CWDM3538-H carries CSA and UR listings, aligning with North American safety and compliance requirements. The unit follows a NEMA-design approach and uses a United States origin, supporting regulatory acceptance in US facilities and related markets.
Benefits include higher uptime due to rugged washdown design, easier installation with standard mounting, and stock availability across multiple warehouses (0 lead time in some cases). The 56HC frame and sturdy bearings reduce maintenance needs, while the Direct On Line start minimizes control hardware, contributing to faster ROI for sanitary production lines.
