Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which replacement motor to use?

It's important to remember that most motors are made for specific applications. There's no single attribute that's most important, they're all important. Start by understanding the application of the motor, then match frame size and motor diameter. Next, match horsepower, RPM, and amp ratings for your input voltage. It's important select a motor with the ventilation style appropriate to the environment where the motor will be mounted. Also, you want to keep a close eye on shaft diameter and rotation.
