The shaft height of a 48 frame motor is 3 inches.
Here's how that's determined:
The frame number relates directly to the motor's shaft height. The first two digits (in this case, '48') indicate the shaft height in sixteenths of an inch.
To calculate the shaft height:
- Divide the frame number by 16.
- 48 / 16 = 3 inches.
Therefore, a 48 frame motor has a shaft height of 3 inches. Knowing the shaft height is crucial for proper mounting and alignment with the driven equipment.
