Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PRESTOLITE MOTORS from 3G Electric.
What are the typical specifications of Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors?
Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors are available in several configurations. Common specifications include 12 V DC nameplate voltage, with either 700 RPM at 16 A full load or 2,800 RPM at 200 A full load. Horsepower ratings up to 1-3/5 hp are available. Shaft diameters are either 1/2 in or 9/16 in, and overall lengths range from 6 5/16 in to 7 7/16 in. Rotation types include CW/CCW, CWSE, and CCWSE. These motors are wound-field DC types, meaning they have separate field and armature windings. Buyers should match the motor's speed, torque, and current draw to the hydraulic pump requirements of their equipment.
How do I select the correct Prestolite Motors model for my hydraulic lift application?
Selection depends on the voltage, required speed, current draw, rotation, and physical dimensions. First, confirm the system voltage (typically 12 V DC). Then determine the required pump speed and torque; the 2,800 RPM models with 200 A full load are suited to higher-flow applications, while the 700 RPM model with 16 A full load is for lower-demand systems. Check rotation: CW/CCW motors are reversible, while CWSE and CCWSE are unidirectional. Verify shaft diameter (1/2 in or 9/16 in) and overall length to ensure fit. The MPN and SKU can be used to cross-reference. 3G Electric can provide detailed specifications for each model to assist with selection.
What is the difference between CW/CCW and CWSE/CCWSE rotation in Prestolite Motors?
CW/CCW indicates a motor that can operate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, typically by reversing the polarity of the armature or field. This is useful for applications requiring bidirectional operation. CWSE (clockwise shaft end) and CCWSE (counterclockwise shaft end) indicate a fixed rotation direction when viewed from the shaft end. These unidirectional motors are used where the hydraulic system only requires one direction of pump rotation. The rotation type must match the pump's required direction to ensure proper hydraulic flow. Prestolite Motors offers both reversible and unidirectional models in its hydraulic lift DC motor line.
What are the current draw and power ratings for Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors?
Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors are available with full load currents of either 16 A or 200 A at 12 V DC. The 16 A model delivers 700 RPM and does not list a horsepower rating in the provided specifications. The 200 A models deliver 2,800 RPM and are rated at 1-3/5 hp. These current draws reflect full load conditions; actual current may vary with load and operating temperature. Ensure the electrical system, including wiring, fuses, and controllers, is rated for the motor's full load current. The 200 A models require heavy-duty conductors and switching components.
Can Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors be used in both mobile and industrial equipment?
Yes. Prestolite Motors hydraulic lift DC motors are designed for hydraulic lift applications in both mobile and industrial equipment. Typical uses include scissor lifts, dock levelers, and other lift systems. The 12 V DC rating makes them suitable for battery-powered mobile equipment, while their wound-field design provides torque characteristics that can be adapted to various pump loads. They can also be used in stationary industrial equipment where a 12 V DC supply is available. The motor's rotation, speed, and mounting dimensions should be matched to the specific equipment. 3G Electric supplies these motors for global distribution to support both mobile and industrial maintenance and repair operations.
