60 HP Electric Motors (60 Horsepower Industrial Motors)
60 HP electric motors are engineered for high-demand industrial applications requiring both power and precision.
Built for continuous duty, these 60 horsepower motors deliver the torque, efficiency, and reliability needed to drive pumps, compressors, conveyors, crushers, and process machinery across manufacturing, mining, and utility sectors.
Available in ODP, TEFC, and Explosion-Proof (TEXP) enclosures, each 60 HP motor combines robust construction with energy-efficient performance, meeting NEMA and CSA/UL standards for quality and safety.
What Does a 60 HP Motor Offer?
A 60 horsepower motor produces approximately 44.7 kilowatts of mechanical output, making it ideal for continuous industrial loads where efficiency and thermal management are critical.
Typical NEMA frame sizes 364T–365T accommodate heavy-duty bearings, oversized shafts, and enhanced ventilation for long service life.
✅ Key features include:
Premium efficiency (NEMA Premium® compliant)
1800 or 3600 RPM speed options
230/460V or 575V 3-phase configurations
ODP, TEFC, or Explosion-Proof enclosures
High torque output and low vibration design
Enclosure Options — ODP, TEFC & TEXP
Each 60 HP motor can be configured with the enclosure best suited for its environment:
Enclosure
Description
Ideal Environment
ODP (Open Drip Proof)
Ventilated frame allows airflow through motor for cooling.
