The three-phase, 208-230/460 volt motors are inverter capable and start at $97. IronHorse MTR series motors work well in applications using conveyors, fans, gear reducers, and pumps, and are CE and CSA certified.

The three-phase industrial duty MTC series motors are T-frame TEFC motors available in one to 300 HP sizes and feature ribbed cast iron frames to ensure maximum cooling. They are also equipped with solid full frame-length cast iron mounting feet, cast iron junction box with rubber gasket and rubber dust cover. Motor sizes 10 hp and lower are equipped with maintenance-free bearings. These high-efficiency motors are CSA, CE, ISO9001, and EPACT certified. IronHorse T- frame motors are ideal for applications such as pumps, material handling, metal and textile processing, and test stands. Prices for MTC series motors start at $120.

IronHorse AC motor accessories include Stable™ motor slide bases for accurate and easy motor positioning. Available in sizes from NEMA 56- NEMA 449T, these motor bases start at $10.
