Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 5 HP ratings at 230 V, 60 Hz, and 1725 r/min deliver reliable, consistent torque for moderate-load conveyor and pump applications, reducing ripple and improving process stability. This translates to measurable uptime and reduced motor wear in packaging lines that require smooth starts and steady speed control. The closed-loop knowledge of PF 0.78 and efficiency around 77% supports energy-conscious operation, lowering operating costs in continuous-duty environments like fans and blowers. The OPSB enclosure and steel frame provide robust protection in manufacturing floors, enabling longer intervals between maintenance cycles and better dust/dust ingress resilience for open‑frame installations. Foot-mounted, horizontal F1 mounting aligns with standard installation practices, simplifying retrofits and new builds while delivering predictable alignment and reduced mounting work.

FAQs
Yes. The 7BL1508T uses a 213T frame with horizontal mounting (F1) and a standard drive end flange, optimized for OPSB open enclosure installations. It is foot-mounted for straightforward retrofits and aligns with typical open-frame equipment found in conveyors, pumps, and fans. The Direct On Line starting method supports simple starter integration without braking accessories.
This model operates at 230 V, single-phase, 60 Hz, with a nominal speed of 1725 r/min and a rated current of 27 A. It delivers 5 HP with a service factor of 1.15 and a rated efficiency around 77%, along with a power factor of ~0.78. These specs support reliable performance in typical light‑to‑medium load applications such as fans, pumps, and light conveyors.
Yes. The motor is designed for continuous duty in general purpose applications, supported by a continuous duty rating and OPSB enclosure. With a robust 213T frame, regreasable bearings, and a 60-minute duty time consideration when needed, it sustains steady operation in conveyors and process equipment with minimal downtime.
The 7BL1508T is certified for CSA and UL recognition with UR, and it adheres to NEMA design standards (L design code). These certifications provide regulatory compliance and reliability assurance across North American installations, which is critical for regulated manufacturing environments.
Maintenance is simplified by regreasable bearings and a durable steel frame, reducing lubrication downtime and extending service intervals. The open OPSB design eases cooling and inspection, contributing to higher uptime. Stock availability across multiple warehouses (0‑day lead time) improves ROI by minimizing project delays and inventory carrying costs.
