1200 RPM Electric Motors (6-Pole Industrial Motors)
1200 RPM electric motors provide higher torque and lower speed for machinery that demands power and control rather than velocity.
Operating at six poles (60 Hz), these motors run quietly, minimize vibration, and extend bearing life — ideal for mixers, agitators, positive-displacement pumps, and slow conveyors.
Each unit is built to NEMA Premium® efficiency standards and available in ODP, TEFC, and Explosion-Proof (TEXP) enclosures.
Designed for continuous-duty industrial service, 1200 RPM motors balance torque, temperature control, and longevity.
Performance and Design Overview
A 6-pole 1200 RPM motor produces greater mechanical leverage per revolution, translating to increased torque at the shaft and smoother startup under heavy load.
These units are engineered for low-speed, high-inertia applications where precision and durability are critical.
✅ Key Advantages
High-torque output for slow-speed equipment
Quieter operation and reduced vibration
Extended bearing and insulation life
Optimized cooling for continuous load environments
Compatible with VFDs and soft starters for speed control
Enclosure Options
All enclosures are available in cast iron, stainless steel, and fabricated steel frames.
