General Purpose Motors: Proven, Reliable, Available

As a brand of ABB, Baldor-Reliance® general purpose motors provide the longest life and offer the best availability, lowering overall operating costs and reducing operational downtime. The robust design offers industry leading reliability, flexibility, and safety to meet the exact demands of a wide range of applications and are readily available at local stocking locations around the globe.

Three-Phase Motors, Enclosed & Open

Three-phase motors meet or exceed energy efficiency requirements, while delivering high starting torque and overload capability in environments where exposure to water, dust, and corrosives exists. These motors are designed for reliable performance in harsh conditions, ensuring longer life.

Features
  • Robust, Heavy‑Gauge Steel & Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction
  • 60 Hz Designs with 50 Hz Information on 2‑, 4‑, 6‑Pole 1‑125 HP Ratings
  • Simple F1 to F2 Conversion on Cast Iron Frames
  • Designed for Longevity with a 3‑Year Warranty on NEMA Premium Efficient Super‑E Motors
  • C-Face Motors have Locked DE Bearing to Allow Mounting in Any Configuration
  • Standard Foot‑Mount Configurations, as well as C‑Face Foot‑Mount and C‑Face Footless
  • Suitable for Mounting in Any Position, IP44 & IP54
  • Class F Insulation, 1.15 Service Factor
  • Inverter‑Ready with Wide Variable Torque Speed Ranges as Standard
Applications

    Fans, pumps, blowers, conveyors, compressors, industrial machines, and other general industrial equipment

Single-Phase Motors, Enclosed & Open

Single‑phase general purpose motors are designed to meet various torque loads for an array of small horsepower, single-phase applications, in environments where exposure to water, dust, and corrosives exists. Feature proven performance in moderate environments.

Features
  • Designed to Meet Various Torque Loads for an Array of Small Horsepower Single‑Phase Applications
  • Dynamically Balanced Rotor to Increase Bearing Life
  • Robust Heavy Gauge Steel Design
  • Superior Switch Design Provides Optimized Torque Profiles
  • C-Face Motors Have Locked DE Bearing to Allow Mounting in Any Configuration
  • Foot Mounted Have Low‑Noise, Vibration‑Dampening Base
Applications

    Air handling, material handling, gear reducers, machine tools, conveyors, pumps, and fans

Brake Motors

Brake motors have a mounted brake to aid in the deceleration of the driven load with the ability to hold in the event of interrupted power supply.

Features
  • Manual Release, Spring-Set Brake
  • C-Face or Fan on Drive End
  • Easily Accessible Brake Leads
  • Vibration Dampening Base
Applications

    Conveyors, unit handling, machine tools, door operators, speed reducers, packaging equipment, and other general industrial equipment

Inverter Duty Motors

Industrial electric motors are available for most general purpose applications and processes. However, some AC variable speed applications require constant torque at zero speed. Inverter/vector motors are designed specifically for adjustable speed applications in a standard NEMA frame motor. Additionally, AC inverter/vector motors can be run across the line for bypass operation and can deliver a 1000:1 speed range in a standard TENV or TEBC enclosure.

Features
  • Extensive 1/3‑500 HP Range
  • NEMA and IEC Frames
  • 1000:1 CT
  • Low Noise
  • 841xl Features Available
  • Cast Iron Frame Construction
  • Corona‑Free, Class F Insulation
  • 200% Torque Overload for One Minute at Base Speed
  • Insulated Bearings
  • Constant Horsepower 1.5 Times Base Speed
  • Special Encoder Provisions
Applications

    Winders, positioning, extruders, web processing, oil drilling, induction servo spindle, test stands — low/high speed

HVAC Motors

Super‑E, NEMA Premium efficient HVAC motors come in ODP and TEFC designs with ball bearings and plugged grease passages. They are specifically engineered with industry-driven designs to keep your air handling systems running smoothly, quietly, and efficiently, which means better system reliability and performance, with less maintenance.

Features
  • 0.75‑74.57 kW, 1‑100 HP
  • Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) and Open Drip Proof (ODP) Designs
  • Three‑Phase Includes Bar‑Coded Spec Number Label
  • Mounting Holes on Drive Endplate Enable Field Conversion to Add Bearing Isolators
Applications

    Heating, ventilation, air conditioning blowers, and fans
