Vertical Hollow Shaft Motors

Electrical Motors are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy by producing a rotating force (torque) measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) and horsepower (HP). Medium size motors are designed and built to operate at 60 Hz with three phase voltage at 230 volts, 460 volts and 575 volts. These motors are used to drive compressors, pumps, fans, machine tools, conveyers and other processing and materials handling equipment in industrial sectors. 

Vertical Hollow Shaft Motors are designed for use on mix flow, turbine and propeller pumps. They feature a P-Base style mount and allow the pump head shaft to extend through the motor shaft and connect to an integrally-mounted drive coupling. Because the vertical hollow shaft motors are designed to take high loading in an axial direction, but little in the radial direction, they are exclusively mounted in a vertical position on their flanged base. The Weather Protected Type 1 (WP1) enclosure is specifically designed to minimize water and dust from entering and mesh screens are added to prevent rodents and debris.
