BALDOR MOTOR VM3531 Three Phase Enclosed Motor, 230/460V, 1200 RPM, 60 Hz, 0.25 hp, TEFC, 56C Frame

Baldor VM3531 general-purpose motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to create motion. It is ideal for 3-phase applications in pumps, compressors, fans, material handling equipment, machines tools & conveyors.

Working Mechanism:

• Connect the motor to an AC power supply.
• The windings of the shaft motor generate a magnetic field and reversibly rotate the armature of the unit.
• This rotates the shaft of the motor and delivers the driving force to the connected equipment.

Features:

• Baldor VM3531 general-purpose motor is a totally enclosed fan cooled unit to keep the motor windings clean, cool & dry for energy efficiency and extended service life.
• It delivers constant power with 3-phase operation, ensuring smooth performance.
• This unit offers a ball pulley end bearing for perfect sealing & minimum rotational friction.
• It has a continuous duty cycle and can run at a maximum speed of 1140 rpm, at ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius.
• It features steel frame construction for structural rigidity and Polyrex EM grease lubricated bearings to resist oil & water leakage at temperatures ranging from -20 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• It has a footless design for improved safety & reduced weight.
• It comes with a locked DE bearing for allowing mounting in any configuration.

Standards and Approvals:

• UR
• CSA
• ROHS
• NEMA

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What does continuous duty operation mean?

A. A continuous load is where the highest current is expected to operate continuously for three hours or more.

Q. What is the difference between 1, 2 and 3 phase motors?

A.

• 1-phase motor: Electricity flows through a single conductor.
• 2-phase motor: Electricity flows through 4-wire (2 for each phase) conductors.
• 3-phase motor: Electricity flows through 3 separate conductors.
