Understanding Baldor Catalog Numbers

Baldor motor catalog numbers consist of a letter(s) prefix and several non-significant proceeding numbers. A suffix letter(s) and/or number(s) may also be part of the catalog number. For example, L3510 or L3510T.

The codes on these catalog numbers may help you to know which motor to select or if the motor you have is right (or wrong) for your application.
