Baldor Electric Company M3009 Electric Motors

Baldor Electric Company's M3009 is a general‑purpose, 1/2‑horsepower, three‑phase induction motor designed for reliable service in pumps, fans, conveyors, and machine tools. It operates on dual voltage 230/460 VAC at 60 Hz, delivering a 2‑pole speed of 3450 rpm and comes in a 48‑frame Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure for rugged, straightforward mounting. The unit is configured for footed/rigid base mounting and is specified with insulation class F and a service factor of 1.25, providing extra margin under heavier loads. Although the M3009 designation appears in older Baldor catalogs, current listings supersede it with EM30009, preserving the same performance characteristics in a modern catalog entry. This Baldor model is intended for general industrial duty and is well suited to pumps, fans, conveyors, and machine tools where three‑phase power is available, offering dependable torque and simple installation in conventional shop environments.
