Motor stock in US & Europe catalogued!

Baldor has published a new edition of its renowned 501 catalogue, detailing all the electric motor products that are held in stock by the company in the USA - all of which are also available on quick turnaround in Europe. The list - and the catalogue - are exceptionally comprehensive. Running to more than 600 pages, the latest edition covers literally thousands of Baldor Reliance motors and virtually every application area for rotary motion.

The single- and three-phase motors that are stocked by Baldor span a very wide power range of 0.18 to 1,200 kW and cover an exceptionally broad spectrum of application types - including general purpose, premium efficiency, severe duty and explosion proof, washdown, DC, vector and brake - together with a large number of application-specific types such as pump, HVAC and farm duty.

Given Baldor's American heritage, it is hardly surprising that as well as motors with IEC frames, the catalogue details a vast number of motors with NEMA type frames. Many of the company's three-phase NEMA motors are already available - in both Europe and the USA - in versions that comply with the USA's Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), which became mandatory on December 19, 2010. This legislation enforces higher energy standards for virtually every three-phase motor with a power rating from 0.75 to 375 kW; Baldor is consequently making EISA-compliant motors available to all automation builders serving the North American market.
