Custom electric motors - fast
September 18th 2007

Why compromise by using a motor that's nearly right or over-specced, says Baldor, when it will create the optimal solution?

Baldor will customise motors to meet your exact need, ranging from application-specific enclosures, conduit boxes, base and face mounts, to special windings, bearings and shafts. Or you may just want a custom paint job. Whatever your needs, Baldor says its 'flex flow' line will build it - fast!

Customisation possibilities include:

Enclosures choices include: Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled, Totally Enclosed, Non-Enclosed, Non-Ventilated, Totally Enclosed Air Over, Totally Enclosed Blower Cooled, Explosion Proof and Open Drip Proof. Stator housings are available in cast iron, stainless steel, steel and extruded aluminium. Weather Protected Type I and II also available.

Windings. Part winding, star, wye-delta, multi-speed and other special configurations, in 50 or 60 Hz. Special winding protection includes vacuum pressure impregnation, epoxy encapsulation, tropicalization and weatherproofing.
