Face Mount Electric Motors (C-Face & D-Flange Configurations)
Face mount electric motors feature a machined front flange that allows direct coupling to driven equipment — eliminating the need for a base or belt drive.
They’re used wherever precise shaft alignment, compact installation, and vibration control are required — such as pumps, gear reducers, conveyors, and OEM machinery.
Available in both C-Face (threaded bolt) and D-Flange (through-bolt) configurations, face mount motors are offered in ODP, TEFC, and Explosion-Proof (TEXP) enclosures and meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards.
Types of Face Mount Motors
Both designs provide rigid shaft alignment and are fully compatible with VFD controls and IEC adapter rings.
