Question for Electric motor gurus...will this stump you?
Especially for those familar with NEMA standards.
What is the difference between a 180TC mount and a 184TC(or 182TC) ?
Dimensionally they seem the same, but I'd just like to know the difference.
Cheers,
Alan

Ok.....here we go...
I will break down the code...
184TC
T = complies with modern (post '64) standards
C = face mounting
When there are 3 numbers, take the first 2 and divide by 4 this gives you the shaft centre to feet distance...in this case 4.5"
The 3rd number refers to different hole spacing in the feet
A zero 3rd number (as in 180) is used for the designation of mating gearboxes etc. (or motors with no feet I guess...) where the foot holes are
irrelevant.
Therefore in terms of face mounting, 180TC = 182TC = 184TC....
