The proper installation of an electric motor is just as important as its performance. Selecting the correct mounting type according to the motor's working environment increases efficiency and extends the motor's service life.

The most commonly used electric motor mounting types in industrial applications are defined by IEC standards. These types vary depending on the motor’s housing and foot/flange positioning.

  • Common in low-power motors

B35 – Foot + Flange Combination

  • Hybrid type with both feet and flange
