Baldor VEM3558 Industrial Three Phase Electric Motor

The Baldor VEM3558 is a 2 HP, three‑phase general‑purpose industrial motor designed for reliable continuous operation in demanding environments. It is a dual‑voltage design that can be wired for 208–230 V or 460 V, and it uses a 56C frame with a Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC) enclosure and a C‑face mount for straightforward alignment with equipment. At 60 Hz, the nominal speed is around 1,750 rpm, and current draw is about 5.8 A at 208–230 V or 2.9 A at 460 V, consistent with Baldor’s 2 HP, 56C, 3‑phase offerings. Labeled as a Super E efficiency motor, it targets higher operating efficiency in typical factory duty cycles, helping to reduce energy use in long‑running drives. This model is commonly employed to power conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools, especially when a robust, reliable general‑purpose drive is required and a C‑face mounting footprint is compatible with existing equipment.
