Motor Dimensional Chart

Standardized motor dimensionsestablished by the National
Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)are tabulated below
and apply to all base-mounted motors listed herein that carry a
NEMA frame designation.

NEMA C- AND J-FACE MOUNTING DIMENSIONS

Mounting dimensions of the 56J-Face are exactly the same as the
NEMA 56C.
56J-Face has a threaded shaft of stainless steel while all others
