Mounting Descriptions

B3 – Foot Mounted 
B3 foot mounted motors are the most common motor mounting configuration used in industrial applications. Designed with mounting feet fixed to the base of the motor frame, they are installed directly onto a flat surface or machine bed. This mounting style provides a strong and stable installation, making 
B3 motors ideal for pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, and general industrial machinery. Their simple installation and maintenance make them a versatile solution across a wide range of applications.    

B5 – Flange Mounted 
B5 flange mounted motors are designed with a large flange and no feet, allowing the motor to be directly mounted to driven equipment through the flange face. This configuration is commonly used where space is limited or precise alignment is required. B5 motors are widely used in pumps, gearboxes, compressors, and processing machinery, providing a compact and efficient mounting solution with reliable performance in industrial environments.    

B35 – Foot and Flange Mounted 
B35 motors combine traditional foot mounting with a B5 flange, providing maximum versatility for industrial applications. This configuration allows the motor to be securely mounted using either the feet, the flange, or both together for added support and alignment accuracy. B35 motors are commonly used in heavy-duty industrial machinery, pumps, conveyors, and compressors where robust installation and flexible mounting arrangements are required.
