Amps
The amount of electrical current flowing in an electrical circuit
Counter-Clockwise Lead End (CCWLE) Rotation
Counter-Clockwise Lead End rotation is the rotation given from the perspective of having the shaft pointing away from you and the shaft rotating to the left.
Counter-Clockwise Shaft End (CCWSE) Rotation
Counter-Clockwise Shaft End rotation is the rotation given from the perspective of having the shaft pointing away from you and the shaft rotating to the right.
Clockwise Lead End (CWLE) Rotation
Clockwise Lead End rotation is the rotation given from the perspective of having the shaft pointing at you and the shaft rotating to the left.
Clockwise Shaft End (CWSE) Rotation
Clockwise Shaft End rotation is the rotation given from the perspective of having the shaft pointing at you and the shaft rotating to the right.
Horsepower
The rating of a motor’s ability to do work.
Lead End
Lead End is the motor perspective of having the shaft pointed away from you. Opposite lead end is shaft end.
Overload Protector
A temperature detecting device built into the motor that disconnects the motor from the power source if the temperature rise becomes excessive.
Revolutions per Minute (RPM)
The motor's RPM is how many times the shaft rotates per minute.
Shaft End
Shaft End is the motor perspective of having the shaft pointed at you. Opposite shaft end is lead end.
