Farm duty and open drip-proof motors feature high starting torque

AutomationDirect has added more farm duty and open drip-proof motors to its general-purpose AC induction motors lineup. The IronHorse MTF2 series farm duty motors are totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) single-phase 208 to 230 V, 1800 rpm AC motors with increased torque ranges from 2 to 10 hp.

The IronHorse NEMA T-frame motors are IP55 rated and have cast-iron end housings with rolled steel bodies. Farm duty motors are designed for applications requiring high starting torque and moderate starting current and are used to power agitators, augers, compressors, conveyors, feeders, hay hoists, grinders, blowers and for other general-purpose heavier materials applications.

In addition, IronHorse MTDP series open drip-proof three-phase motors range in size from 1 to 50 hp at 1800 rpm and 3 hp, 5 hp and 7.5 hp at 3600 rpm. Frame sizes are available from 143T to 326T. All models have a rolled steel frame; frame sizes up to 256T have cast aluminum end bells, while frame sizes of 284T or larger have cast iron end bells. All frame sizes have a fixed base.

The IronHorse motors are cURus certified, CE approved and have a 2-year warranty.
