Vertical Mounting Motor
(OP)
If somebody knows, an horizontal motor can be mounted vertically? It's a small motor Frame 56 1/2HP.
My concern is on the bearings.
Thanks.

RE: Vertical Mounting Motor
I have had problems with DGBBs in larger motors, 250 kW that were mounted vertically. At least, that is what I think. But the motor manufacturer says that it should be OK to run them vertically. But, they add, do not add any more vertical load to the shaft.
I still think it is a bad idea to tilt a motor that big away from its natural working position. But your small motor should be OK.
