Baldor Electric Company CEM3157T AC Induction Motor

Baldor Electric Company's CEM3157T is a 2‑hp, three‑phase AC induction motor designed for general‑purpose industrial service and built to Baldor‑Reliance specifications. It uses a 145TC frame and C‑face mounting, with an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure and an OPSB variant option for open construction, and it is rated for 60 Hz operation at dual voltages of 230 and 460 V, delivering a nominal speed around 1,750 rpm depending on voltage and tolerance. This motor is commonly chosen for drives, pumps, fans, conveyors, and other standard equipment where reliable torque and ruggedness are valued in non‑harsh manufacturing environments. The CEM3157T designation identifies a Baldor general‑purpose motor in the 2 HP class within the 145TC family, aligning with typical NEMA design and mounting conventions to simplify replacement and compatibility with existing Baldor or third‑party components. It operates on 230/460 V, 3‑phase, 60 Hz, with a nominal speed of 1,750 rpm and uses a 145TC frame compatible with common Baldor accessories and mounting options.
