About Prestolite Motors

Prestolite Motors' catalogue includes permanent-magnet DC & wound-field motors, universal motors and high-torque motors. Prestolite permanent-magnet DC (PMDC) motors offer excellent thermal capacities, making them ideal for use with coffee grinders, small-engine starters, mixers and treadmills. These motors feature a finned-body design which radiates the excessive heat produced and an IP54-rated enclosure that protects against foreign-body entry / moisture.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Prestolite Motors' model numbers generally cross individual reference to the equivalent Leeson, Baldor Motors & Marathon Motors MPNs (manufacturer's part numbers). So, if you're looking for permanent-magnet DC motors, wound-field motors & accessories that are either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the alternate product available.

Shipping

These Prestolite Motors products are generally small to medium in size and require compact packaging. They are suitable for courier shipment and not air freight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are high torque motors & universal motors from Prestolite Motors used?

  • High Torque Motors: Used in winches, hydraulic pumps, scissor lifts, snowploughs and pumps.
  • Universal Motors: Used in floor care vacuums and other equipment requiring high torque or rotational speed.

What are the differences between PMDC motors and wound-field motors?

A permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor uses a permanent magnet for creating a magnetic field to generate torque. A wound-field motor, on the other hand, uses wire windings connected to a series of poles. These windings require an external current for magnetisation & subsequent torque generation.

Are products from Prestolite Motors IP rated?

Yes, most Prestolite Motors are IP-rated. IP protection refers to the level of protection that a motor provides against foreign matter and liquids. The first number in the IP rating determines the protection against solid objects (dust / debris) with 0 being no protection & 6 being total protection. The second number in the IP rating indicates protection against liquids (water) with 0 being no protection & 8 being protection from long periods of immersion under pressure.
