Motors
Motors are the power transmission workhorse of industry, converting electrical energy into mechanical movement. Selecting an AC motor or DC motor for an application depends on considerations such as power, speed control, cost and ease of maintenance.

AC Motors
AC motors convert electrical energy into mechanical movement. Pervasive in factory and commercial applications, AC motors have a lower maintenance requirement than DC motors, and when paired with a VFD, can offer similar performance in torque.
- General purpose and inverter rated
- High-performance inverter duty
- 4 in 1
- Stainless steel / washdown duty
- Conveyor/farm duty
- Hazardous location
- Centrifugal jet pump
- Severe duty
- IEC motors
- Brake motors
AC motor accessories help complete installation.
DC Motors
DC Gearmotors
DC gearmotors provide high torque at low speeds, and are designed for use on an unfiltered SCR (Thyristor) rectified AC input. They may also be used with PWM (pulse width modulated) DC variable speed drives or across-the-line applications.
IronHorse DC gearmotors up to 1/4hp are available in a variety of operating voltages, with parallel or right-angle output shafts.
AC Motor Bases

- IronHorse AC motor bases
Motor bases are a convenient way to mount and adjust the position of AC motors. Models available include adjustable, pivot, and automatic motor bases, which automatically compensate for variations in load. A wide selection of frame sizes is available.
