WEEE Category
4. Large Equipment (Any External Dimension More Than 50 cm)
Feature: 1-phase operation with voltage flexibility of 110 V (and 220 V) and a 50 Hz frequency. Business Impact: simplifies wiring and reduces the need for dedicated transformers in many light-industry installations. Application: suitable for conveyors, pumps, and fans in OEM equipment where space is at a premium. The 0.5 HP rating aligns with standard control circuits, supporting predictable torque for light loads and easier integration with common motor starters. Feature: Frame size 48 with a compact footprint, 25 lb weight, and a robust foot-mounted base. Business Impact: minimizes machine footprint, lowers installation costs, and improves service access. Application: ideal for retrofits and new lines in packaging, material handling, and small automation cells. Feature: Open enclosure and direct-on-line starting with a 2-pole rotor delivering 2850 r/min. Business Impact: enhanced cooling, easier lubrication access, and simplified electrical wiring with existing controls. Application: suited for open-frame conveyors and fans in moderate ambient conditions. Feature: Bearing 6203 Ball, Insulation Class B, Regreasable lubrication. Business Impact: durable, long-life performance with reduced maintenance intervals and predictable uptime. Application: dependable in multi-shift operations in manufacturing and processing environments. Feature: Efficiency 68% and Power Factor 77%. Business Impact: lower operating costs and better energy management, supporting sustainability goals and reduced utility penalties. Application: aligns with plant-wide energy programs and budget-conscious retrofits. This motor is designed for straightforward installation in horizontal, foot-mounted configurations and remains compatible with 110/220 V control schemes, minimizing wiring changes and control cabinet redesigns. Objection Handling: The open enclosure simplifies serviceable access and cooling, while Regreasable bearings extend lubrication cycles; for 60 Hz environments, consider supply-matched designs to maintain speed and torque targets.
