BALDOR MOTOR VBM3538 Brake Motor, 208-230/460V, 1800 RPM, 60 Hz, 0.5 hp, 3 Phase TENV, 56C Frame

Baldor VBM3538 short-series brake motor is employed on conveyors, machine tools, speed reducers, door operators and hoists requiring a quick stop. It provides braking as a safety measure when power cuts abruptly.

Working Mechanism:

• This Baldor VBM3538 brake motor employs an electromagnetic field for powering the motor.
• It operates by pushing a magnetic pole rotor through the applied current.
• Surrounding the rotor, the poles of the stator apply a force to turn the shaft.
• When a static AC or DC is provided to the unit, the poles of the stator become static and cease the rotor.

Features:

• Baldor VBM3538 general purpose brake motor is manufactured for quick stop & hold operations in hoists, conveyors, door operators, speed reducers, machine tools, rolling mills, cranes and textile / printing machinery.
• It features a totally enclosed non-ventilated (TENV) configuration for resistance against dirt and damp conditions and steel construction for withstanding tough job site abuse.
• This motor has ball bearings for decreasing rotational friction and supporting both radial and axial loads.
• It also offers automatic and manual thermal protection for eliminating overheating hazards.

Standards and Approvals:

• UR
• CSA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does C-face design refer to?

A. C-face is manufactured keeping installation in mind. They have a flat surface machined onto one side that permits for direct coupling with the equipment.

Q. What is the use of a shaft in a motor?

A. A shaft is a cylindrical component extruding out from the housing and motor. It transforms energy from the motor into end-use applications.
