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.
