  • * Dimension D will never be greater than the above values on rigid mount motors, but it may be less so that shims up to 1/32" thick (1/16" on 364U and 365U frames) may be required for certain machines.
  • @@ Motors designated 56H have two sets of 2F mounting holes--3" and 5".
  • $ Standard short shaft for direct-drive applications.
  • # Discontinued NEMA frame.
  • ** Base of 56HZ frame motors has holes and slots to match NEMA 56, 56H, 143T and 145T mounting dimensions.
  • @ Certain NEMA 56Z frame motors have 1/2" x 1 1/2" long shaft with 3/64" flat. These exceptions are noted in the General Catalog.
  • & Dimension "V" is shaft length available for coupling, pinion or pulley hub - this is a minimum value.
