B3 mounted electric motors are the most widely used foot mounted motor type in industry, fixed directly to a machine base frame, steel platform, concrete floor or motor base via the feet under the frame. Manufactured by HEM Motor, B3 motors provide secure, rigid mounting for horizontally operating machines and are delivered quickly from stock.

Technical Specifications
- Mounting type: B3 (foot mounted motor)
- Connection: via the feet under the frame to a base frame, platform, floor or motor base
- Frame sizes: 63 – 355L (including 315HT)
- Shaft and keyway design suitable for belt-pulley, coupling and gearbox connections
- At high power ratings (315 kW and 355 kW, 1500 rpm), the 355 frame with Ø100 mm shaft is common in the Turkish market
- Mounting codes: B3 = foot mounted motor, B5 = large flange footless motor, B35 = foot + large flange motor
Foot and Shaft Dimension Definitions
- H: Height from the foot base to the shaft centre
- A: Transverse distance between foot mounting holes
- B: Longitudinal distance between foot mounting holes
- D: Motor shaft diameter
- E: Shaft extension length
- K: Foot mounting hole diameter
- Key dimension: Keyway dimension on the shaft; important for pulley, coupling or gearbox connection

Common Dimensions for 315 kW and 355 kW Motors in the Turkish Market
| Power | Speed | Common Frame | Common Shaft Diameter in Turkey | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 kW | 1500 rpm | 315HT / 355 frame | Ø100 mm | May vary by manufacturer |
| 315 kW | 1500 rpm | 355M | Ø100 mm | Common size in the Turkish market |
| 355 kW | 1500 rpm | 355M / 355L | Ø100 mm | Drawing verification required before ordering |
| 400 kW | 1500 rpm | 355L | Ø100 mm | Preferred in heavy-duty applications |
The values in the tables are general references; dimensions may vary by manufacturer, motor series, number of poles and special designs. Since two motors of the same kW rating can be built in different frame sizes, the old motor nameplate, frame size, foot hole spacing, shaft diameter, shaft length, key dimension and shaft height must be checked before ordering a replacement. If the wrong frame or shaft size is selected, the motor may not seat on the machine, the coupling alignment may be disturbed, the belt-pulley system may not run properly, or the mounting holes may not match the existing base.
