Evening all,

In my quest to buy the best new motor for one of my Unisaurs I am trying to
figure out the difference between a Leeson 145 frame motor and a Baldor 184
frame motor. Both companies make specific Unisaw replacement motors, but
each base theirs on a different frame style.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a NEMA 145 and 184 frame?

Is there a web site that shows the differences?

Thanks,

David.

If I'm not mistaken, the frame size refers to the physical dimensions
of the motor. I'm sure there are others here who know more about it
than I do.

Here is a chart of NEMA motor sizes/dimensions:

Other than the obvious size differances you can see with the links others
have posted, consider that the 184 frame motor probably has a larger
diameter rotor, and most likely more torque. Just an assumtion, but I would
bet the 184 frame motor will out pull a 145 frame motor. All that extra
weight has to lead to some benefit!

Swing by LVT and pick up one of their Handyman-in-Your-Pocket
reference books. It lists those and a zillion other things.
Very handy $10 special. It covers lumber, fasteners, air/water
specs, motors, welding, tools, rope, carpentry, conversion charts,
weights, measures, etc. Just Do It!

This is one reference. Google on 'NEMA frame numbers" will turn up
more.
