Baldor Electric Company VM3537 Three Phase Industrial Electric Motor

This Baldor VM3537 is a 0.5 HP, three‑phase general‑purpose induction motor designed for industrial equipment. It is rated for dual voltages of 230/460 VAC at 60 Hz and is built in a 56C frame with a Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) enclosure to protect the windings in demanding environments. The VM3537 uses a C-face/footless mounting configuration, enabling flexible installation on equipment and close coupling to the driven shaft. With a two‑pole design, it runs at a nominal 3420 RPM at 60 Hz, delivering reliable torque for a range of loads. This Baldor Reliance motor is commonly used to replace or upgrade aging conveyors, pumps, fans, and other general‑purpose machines where a compact, durable three‑phase motor is required and where standard 56C frame footprints and 230/460 V operation are advantageous.
