FAQs
Yes. The 7BL1201 is a 1-phase motor designed for 115 V (and 230 V) operation with a 60 Hz supply and an OPEN enclosure. It uses a horizontal, foot-mounted (F1) mounting configuration, aligning with standard open-frame installations used in conveyors, pumps, and fans. For retrofit projects, confirm mounting footprint (Frame 48) and shaft diameter (0.5 in) to ensure a seamless fit. Consider direct-on-line starting for simple, robust commissioning.
Optimal installation centers on confirming the horizontal mounting orientation and the foot-mounted base, ensuring level mounting and proper shaft alignment. Use a compatible 48-frame footprint, verify 0.5 in shaft diameter, and wire for 115/230 V depending on your supply. With an open enclosure, provide adequate cooling and protection from dust. The Direct On Line starting method simplifies wiring and minimizes soft-start requirements in standard duty cycles.
The 7BL1201 carries CSA and UR safety certifications, aligning with common North American electrical and safety requirements. It adheres to NEMA design guidelines and is RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory and environmental compliance. This combination makes it suitable for medical, food, or general industrial equipment where certification traceability is essential. Always verify local regulatory adaptations and any site-specific inspection criteria.
Expect 0.17 Hp output, around 1140 r/min, and a service factor of 1.35 under continuous duty. Rated current is approximately 4.6 A (rated input currents vary with voltage). The motor provides a modest PF of about 52% and an efficiency around 47%, which informs energy budgeting. With a dual-voltage 115/230 V rating and 1-ph operation, it supports reliable, cost-effective drives in light-duty industrial applications.
Maintenance benefits include regreasable bearings (6203) and an open enclosure design that reduces cooling constraints, extending MTBF in open environments. Stocked at multiple warehouses and with 0-day lead times, procurement costs and downtime for spares are minimized, improving project ROI. The motor’s robust design, simple direct-on-line starting, and standard mounting simplify field service and reduce total cost of ownership across OEMs and end users.
