Electric Motors by Horsepower
Selecting the correct motor horsepower (HP) ensures proper startup torque, load handling, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Whether you’re powering pumps, conveyors, compressors, blowers, or process equipment, horsepower selection determines motor performance, operating lifespan, and overall energy cost.
Crossman supplies motors from fractional horsepower to 200 HP+, with NEMA Premium efficiency, inverter-duty windings, and availability in ODP, TEFC, and Explosion-Proof enclosures.
If you need sizing support, our team can help match motor horsepower to your load and duty cycle.
Why Horsepower Matters
Torque Higher HP supports increasing load demand
Startup Load Ensures proper acceleration even under inertia or friction load
Thermal Capacity Prevents overheating in continuous duty environments
VFD Operation Properly sized motors avoid derating when using drives
Motor Life Reduces stress, improves reliability, extends lifespan
