RE: Terms
An electric motor is made with different basic thinks, Stator, Rotor, Shaft, Shields, Bearings, Fan, cover fan.
The shield are a motor´s part, but you most make difference between the two motor´s shields,one is the Drive end(DE): in this side you find the shaft and the other is the non drive end (NDE): normally in this side you find the fan.
The flanges are special Drive end shields, with different shapes and are designed to mounting propouse (pump coupling, gear boxes).
