FAQ

Questions about Baldor

Common questions about Baldor equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.

01Which numbers on a Baldor nameplate matter for a replacement?
The catalog number, such as EM3615T, and the spec number. The catalog number defines the standard motor; the spec number identifies the exact build, including any custom features. Add the frame, HP, RPM, volts and hertz as a cross-check, or simply send a sharp photo of the nameplate.
02What does the 184T frame size mean?
It is a NEMA frame designation that fixes the mounting dimensions: shaft centerline height, shaft diameter and length, and the foot bolt pattern. Two motors with the same frame and mounting type fit the same base and coupling, whatever the make, although overall length and conduit box position can differ.
03Can a 60 Hz Baldor motor be used on a 50 Hz supply?
That depends on the individual motor. Distributor listings for the EM3615T show a 60 Hz rating at 208-230/460 V and 1750 RPM, and speed and output change with frequency. Check the nameplate or the manufacturer data for the exact catalog number before connecting it, and state your supply voltage and frequency when asking.
04Who owns Baldor motors?
Baldor has been owned by ABB since 2011, and its motors are sold as Baldor-Reliance. The company was founded in 1920 in St. Louis and is based in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
05Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Baldor?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent industrial supplier based in Muscat. We source Baldor motors through commercial channels, check the model or order code against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order, on request.
