Severe Duty industrial motors are designed to last in a wide range of applications where motors are exposed to ash, sawdust, dirt, corrosion, and vibration. Most often used in chemical, marine, oil, mines, and pulp and paper facilities.

From Dirty Duty to Crusher Quarry, common features include energy efficient performance, cast iron construction, tough epoxy paint, and large terminal boxes. All severe duty machines are totally enclosed (TEFC) and have slingers or seals to keep contaminants out. Manufacturer's usually also offer a longer warranty for this product.

Each motor ships brand new from the factory with a manufacturer's warranty.
