Baldor Electric Company VBM3546 Brake Motor

The Baldor Electric Company VBM3546 brake motor is a 1 HP, 3-phase motor with an integrated braking device, housed in a 56C frame and a TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) enclosure for rugged industrial use. It is specified for 60 Hz service and typical voltages of 230/460 V three-phase, delivering a nominal speed around 1,750 RPM. The VBM3546 is associated with Baldor’s design family around the 3516M designation and appears in catalog entries such as VBM3546-S and VBM3546-D, indicating variant mounting or enclosure configurations. As a brake motor, it provides stopping and holding torque to help machines start, stop, and reset safely, while the TEFC construction shields windings from dust and moisture in demanding workplace environments. This combination—compact 56C frame, Baldor reliability, and integrated braking—makes the VBM3546 suitable for general industrial applications where a compact, maintenance-friendly brake motor is required.
