Old Motor Frames
Old Motor Frames
(OP)
We have a couple of older motors for which we are redesigning supports. The main issue being we have been unable to find dimensions for the frames (bolt holes and shaft position).
The motors are the following:
Westinghouse: 125HP, Frame 506-US, S#66F34949 (built in 1966)
Siemens: 125HP, Frame 5005(500S?) Type M, SO#X327187A2-M
The manufacturers don't have this info readily available any longer and they are not listed in current NEMA frame tables that we have.
Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,

We are unable to measure the shafts positions.

How old is the Siemens motor?

RE: Old Motor Frames
I mistakenly said Siemens but what I meant was Reliance. Still the same frame number though, and I'm not sure about the year on this one... It's an older motor as well.
Thanks.

Reliance's motor group is now owned by Baldor, did you try them? They have a lot of very good technical people who have been around the block, someone can probably identify that frame for you.
