To be considered
as the most
preferred...
Baldor offers the industrys broadest line of stock
products. Save valuable time with just one call to
Baldor. We offer more than 7,000 stock motors, drives
and gearboxes.
Energy-efficiency leader. We began lowering the
energy consumption of our motors in the 1920s, long
before others were even talking about it. Today, our
expansive line of Super-E
premium-efficient motors
ranges from 1 through 1250 Hp. Baldors Super-E
line
offers customers the highest overall efficiency levels
in the industry.
Baldor products are

than any other brand.
Our 35 district offices
across North America offer
immediate availability of
Baldor products to thousands
of distributors.
Continuous innovation to improve reliability.
Baldor leads the motor industry in applying new
technologies to improve motor reliability. Recent
improvements to the line of Severe Duty motors are
further proof that Baldor is the leader in motors for
process industry applications. These improvements are
explained in detail in the following pages.
Industrys
shortest lead
times/Flexible
manufacturing.
Baldor has the
industrys shortest
lead times on
custom motors
just ten working
days. Our unique
FLEX FLOW
manufacturing process lets us produce any order in any
quantity, quickly and efficiently.
Industrys best information. Only Baldor offers
customers so many choices for product information
with a wide variety of catalogs and product brochures, a

Baldor DC Controls for a
Variety of Applications
Baldor DC Drives provide exceptional value with features you might not expect to find on miniature controls.
From 1/100 Hp up to 5 Hp in both 115V and 230V inputs, weve got you covered for operating standard 90V-
130V or 180Vdc motors. All mini-DC drives can operate Permanent Magnet or Shunt Wound DC motors.
These DC drives are offered in open frame packages, NEMA 1 packages, and NEMA 4X washdown ratings.
One-way controls offer an economical solution when the motor rotates in one direction, and only needs to
control speed. Additional mechanical switches and dynamic brakes (resistors) are used if reverse direction
is required by the application. If the load requires torque regulation, also known as tensioning, our line of
regenerative controls offers the solution. Regenerative controls are convenient for overhauling loads where the
energy can be returned back to the power grid instead of dissipated through a braking resistor. These controls
use electronics to reverse direction instead of hand switches, thus providing longer life than
the mechanical alternatives. Best of all, each and every solution shown here
is in stock and available for delivery, today!
Current Limit features of the drive are offered by either plug-in Horsepower Resistors
or by jumper selections. By using Horsepower Resistors
.
Available from 1/100 Hp to 1 Hp, and when equipped with an optional heat
sink offered by Baldor, these controls can be upgraded to 2 Hp. Standard
features include acceleration, deceleration, current limit, IR comp and min/
max speed potentiometers. Accessories, such as a Forward-Brake-Reverse
Switch, or an Electronic Potentiometer can be used with the control.

One Way Open Chassis Mount Controls
One Way Open Chassis Mount controls featuring open construction for use in
panels begin at 1/100 Hp and extend to 5 Hp. These controls are ready for
either Permanent Magnet (PM) or Shunt Wound DC motors. The control features
adjustable acceleration, deceleration, current limit, IR comp, minimum and maximum
speed potentiometers. They also feature an anti-demagnetization circuit to protect PM
motors. Packaged with these controls are line and armature fuses along with the appropriate
Horsepower Resistor
or
jumper selection. They are UL and cUL approved. Open Chassis mount controls offer
the most economical solution when selecting a miniature DC control.
