Overview
The Nord Gear 132M/4-C-U-S motor is a heavy-duty industrial gearmotor designed for general purpose drive applications. Featuring a 132M aluminum frame with 4-pole motor configuration, it delivers 10 horsepower at 1800 RPM input speed and is equipped with NEMA C-face flange mounting for direct coupling to gearboxes and speed reducers. Built with TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) enclosure, this motor provides reliable operation in factory and plant environments where dust, moisture, and varying ambient conditions are present.
Key Features
- 132M aluminum frame with high efficiency motor design
- NEMA C-face flange mounting for direct gearbox coupling
- 1800 RPM full-load synchronous speed at 60 Hz, 3-phase
- 575V voltage rating (industrial standard) with 3-phase input
- TEFC enclosure protects internal windings from environmental contamination
- Factory-installed oil lubrication in gearbox applications ensures extended component life
Technical Specifications
The motor frame incorporates stainless steel protective paint for corrosion resistance in industrial settings. The internal housing design locks residual casting sand and seals imperfections, extending bearing and gear life. Motor efficiency meets standard NEMA design class requirements for continuous-duty industrial service.
Typical Applications
Nord Gear 132M/4 motors are widely used in conveyor drives, fan and pump applications, packaging machinery, and industrial automation systems requiring reliable power transmission. The NEMA C-face configuration makes it ideal for retrofit and OEM applications where direct-coupled gearbox integration is required. Suitable for manufacturing, food processing, mining, and general industrial facilities.
