Washdown motor

October 1, 2011

Available with 1140, 1725 and 3450rpm ratings, the Bluffton HydroDuty washdown motor has a C-face with keyed shaft and comes with either a rigid base or no base. With a stainless steel exterior, moisture-managed conduit box, water-tight motor lead connections and water-resistant breather vent, the motor protects against moisture intrusion at every possible point; a center cavity drains moisture away from the motor face, and 3-stage seal system protects the bearings. The motor has received approval from the Underwriters Laboratory and meets National Electrical Manufacturers Association Standards 56C, 145TC and 184TC.
