About Baldor Motor

The company offers more than 10000 different motors, drives and gearboxes. A wide range of Baldor electric motors, like washdown duty, severe duty, general purpose, farm duty, jet pump & condenser fan motors, is sold by Raptor Supplies. The brand's general purpose, totally enclosed 3 phase motors are used in pumps, fans, blowers, compressors and conveyors. These Baldor motors run at speeds ranging from 835 to 3600 rpm and allow foot / footless / C face mounting for easy & secure installation. These 3 phase Baldor motors feature frames made of iron / cast iron / steel to ensure structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces. They have a maximum efficiency of 96.2%, and can be operated at temperatures up to 103 degrees C. Permanent magnet DC motors manufactured by Baldor Motor are used in automobiles for operating washers & windshield wipers or driving blowers in air conditioners & heaters. These Baldors motors feature a heavy duty steel frame to provide resistance from corrosion and harsh operating conditions and a dynamically balanced armature for generating a continuous duty magnetic field. The commutator of these Baldor motors is fused with the armature connections to provide low resistance to the current flow, thereby reducing hysteresis loss. Baldor direct current permanent magnet motors also come equipped with fine ceramic ferrite magnets to eliminate the occurrence of demagnetisation and double seal ball bearings for holding axial and radial loads in both CW and CCW directions. Customers looking to replace an old Baldor motor should look for the catalogue number / spec number / part number displayed on the motor faceplate and cross-refer with current models.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Some Baldor motors cross individual references to the equivalent Marathon Motors or Leeson model numbers. So, if you're looking for a competitor motor that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Baldor motor available.

Shipping

These Baldor Motors range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some of the items may get damaged while shipping. Hence, these Baldor Motors are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Baldor motor used for?

Baldor motors are commonly used for pumps, conveyors, fans and air handling equipment.

What to consider while purchasing a motor?

There are several factors that you need to consider while selecting a motor -

  • Current is what powers the motor, but excessive current can damage the motor. For DC motors, stall and operating current are important. Stall current applies sufficient torque for the motor to run either at stall speed or 0 RPM. This is the maximum amount of current the motor can draw. Operating current is the average amount of current, motors are expected to draw under specific torque. Overcurrent may lead to shoot up in heat, resulting in wire melting.
  • Voltage is important as it keeps net current flowing in a single direction and overcomes back current. The higher the voltage, the higher the torque. Make sure that the recommended voltage is applied. If you apply very low voltage, the motor will not work, while applying too much voltage can lead to short circuiting and consequently result in power loss or complete failure.
  • Operating torque is the amount of torque the motor was calibrated to produce while stall torque is the amount of torque generated when power is applied from stall speed. You must look at the required operating torque, but some applications may require you to know how far the motor can be pushed. For example, with a wheeled robot, good torque means good acceleration but you should make sure the stall torque is high enough to lift the weight of the robot. In this case, torque is more important than speed.
  • Velocity or speed can be complex in regards to motors. Generally, motors run most smoothly & efficiently at the highest speeds, but it is not always possible if gearing is needed. Adding gears will reduce the motor efficiency, so take into account both the speed and torque reduction simultaneously.

What general safety instructions should be followed while operating Baldor motors?

  • Avoid overtightening of belts as this may cause shaft breakage or premature bearing failure.
  • Allow clearance for end to end shaft movement.
  • Direct coupled machines should be precisely aligned and the shaft should rotate smoothly without any binding.
