Can I place a 25hp Toshiba electric motor next to a magnetic pulley?

Can I place a 25hp Toshiba electric motor next to a magnetic pulley?

Can I place a 25hp Toshiba electric motor next to a magnetic pulley?

(OP)
I'm designing a conveyor drive that utilizes a 42" diameter magnetic pulley, and I was wondering if placing a 25 horsepower Toshiba electric motor in close proximity (16")to the pulley would cause any disruption in the motor operation.  Any thoughts?

RE: Can I place a 25hp Toshiba electric motor next to a magnetic pulley?

The motor magnetic circuit is shielded by the frame structure and the clutch magnetic leak of flux can not create any problem with the motor operation.
If for whatever reason the pulley leaks magnetic flux, the 26” air path to the motor frame will not allow any important induction to create eddy currents on the motor frame, like to overheat the frame with induced eddy currents.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
