Baldor Electric Company VM3537 Industrial Motor

Baldor VM3537 is a compact, general‑purpose three‑phase induction motor from Baldor Reliance. It is a 0.5‑hp, dual‑voltage design rated for 230/460 V at 60 Hz, with a nominal speed of 3420 rpm on a 56C frame. The TEFC enclosure and C‑face/footless mounting make it a versatile fit for a wide range of machines, from small conveyors to fans and pumps, that require a rugged, maintenance‑friendly motor. The 56C frame keeps the footprint small while delivering practical torque—about 0.75 lb‑ft at full load, with a breakdown torque around 3.4 lb‑ft at 460 V (and corresponding torque characteristics at 230 V). This VM3537 model belongs to Baldor's VM line of general‑purpose motors, a trusted choice for retrofit projects or new equipment needing a standard, reliable, dual‑voltage motor.
