Baldor Electric Company 2517X2-7 Three-Phase AC Motor

The Baldor Electric Company 2517X2-7 is a three-phase AC motor rated at 16 kW, offering a compact, high-power option for industrial drive systems. The 2517X2-7 designation places this unit in Baldor’s 2517X2 family, which uses taper-lock mounting to secure the motor to its drive shaft and facilitate alignment during installation. A 16 kW rating corresponds to roughly 21.5 horsepower, providing noticeable torque for mid-range load applications that rely on reliable three-phase power. Taper-lock mounting, evidenced by the X2 suffix, uses a precision bushing to secure the shaft without a separate key, enabling more precise alignment and easier replacement of the motor or bushing when servicing. Exact electrical specifications, frame size, enclosure type, service factor, and mounting details vary by configuration and are defined in Baldor’s official datasheets for model 2517X2-7; consult these documents to ensure correct installation and compatibility with your equipment.
