MTR series motors feature large, easy-to-wire junction boxes, high tensile strength steel shafts, and cast aluminum end bells. The single-phase, 115/208-230 volt motors include large all-metal capacitor covers with rubber gaskets and oversized capacitors. Prices for single-phase motors start at $96. 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.

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.
