manufacturer's standards to suit specific application.
b. Bearings:
(1) Ball or roller bearings with inner and outer shaft seals;
(2) Greasable, except permanently sealed where motor is normally
inaccessible for regular maintenance;
(3) Designed to resist thrust loading where belt drives or other drives
produce lateral or axial thrust in motor.
(4) For fractional horsepower, light duty motors, sleeve type bearings
are permitted.
c. Enclosure Type:
(1) Open drip-proof motors for indoor use where satisfactorily housed
or remotely located during operation;
(2) Guarded drip-proof motors where exposed to contact by
employees or building occupants.

housed;
(4) Totally enclosed with proper UL Class and Group listing for duty in
hazardous locations.
d. Overload protection: Built-in thermal overload protection and, where
indicated, internal sensing device suitable for signaling and stopping motor
at starter.
e. Noise rating: "Quiet".
f. Efficiency: "Energy Efficient" motors shall have a minimum efficiency as
scheduled in accordance with IEEE Standard 112, test method B. If
efficiency not specified, motors shall have a higher efficiency than
"average standard industry motors", in accordance with IEEE Standard
112, test method B.
g. Nameplate: Indicate the full identification of manufacturer, ratings,
characteristics, construction, special features and similar information.
