Motor Mounting Question

Motor Mounting Question

Motor Mounting Question

(OP)
Please provide information of the differences between a C Face, C-Flange, D-Flange motors.  I know that these are drive side mounting verse foot mounting but I don't understand the differences.  Any references or explanations are greatly appreciated.

TIA.

RE: Motor Mounting Question

Take some trouble to look up a few motor manufacturer's websites. For example, look up motor glossary terms on Reliance/ Baldor websites.

I was told that the NEMA MG-1 Standard had a good description of the differences.  I spent a lot of time browsing the motor vendor site and they assume you are already educated on the differences.

 

RE: Motor Mounting Question

No, they do not. All mfrs strive to educate their potential buyers. I guess your needs are not that urgent, otherwise you would have found the info that I could find in 10 seconds.

Rafiq,

When I grow up I want to be like you!

RE: Motor Mounting Question

My internet is really slow tonight, it took me almost 30 seconds.
If you want to be like Rafiq start learning to learn. It is sometimes a part of growing up.

Oh TY Bill!. I really do not want to know my 'real' rank!tongue

I would never catch up with many like you here! More I learn, I find out how little I know.

RE: Motor Mounting Question

Go to Google or Bing and enter "NEMA motor frame chart".  You will notice the various mounting faces and flanges immediately.  Incidently, there also is a P flange.
