Baldor Electric Company 34M544R240 AC Motor

The Baldor Electric Company 34M544R240 is a 0.5 HP, 850 RPM, three-phase AC motor designed for 460 V operation in a TEAO (Totally Enclosed Air Over) enclosure and configured in a 48YZ frame. It is specified for 60 Hz service, providing steady torque at a relatively low speed suitable for direct-drive loads. The TEAO design shields the windings while allowing cooling air to circulate around the motor, enabling reliable operation in indoor industrial environments without an external fan cover. The 48YZ frame designation indicates compatibility with Baldor’s standard mounting and shaft configurations used across a broad range of equipment, including conveyors, blowers, and other general machinery that benefits from compact, low-speed, high-torque performance. As part of Baldor’s legacy lineup now under ABB, the 34M544R240 carries Baldor’s reputation for durable, low-maintenance motors that support long service life in demanding industrial settings.
