Engineered for reliable performance in agricultural applications
ABB's Baldor-Reliance® Farm Duty motors offer best-in-class designs that enhance safety and are built to perform in the demanding environments of agricultural applications. Designed with features for rugged conditions, our Farm Duty motors provide the needed reliability to keep farm operations up and running.
We offer a full line of single-phase and three-phase Farm Duty NEMA motors for use in a wide variety of agricultural and industrial applications. We also have the capability of building custom designs for specialized applications.
Features that matter
Each Baldor-Reliance Farm Duty Motor is engineered with the right features for its specific job—whether it’s high moisture resistance, thermal overload protection, or extra starting torque for heavy loads. No unnecessary extras, just the right performance for the task at hand.
Bearings and lubrication
Sealed bearings ensure that the proper grease is utilized for the life of the motor and reducing the risk of bearing failure.Ingress protection and sealing
Sealing solutions reduce contaminants and mitigate the risk of motor and winding failures. Suitable for humid or wet environments (e.g. barns, irrigation systems)Electrical protection
Protects winding from overheating during overload, and prevents automatic restarts which require operator intervention.Robust design
Offer a wide variety of enclosure construction from industrial steel band open designs used in relatively clean environments; to totally enclosed cast iron designs where exposure to water, dust, and corrosives exists.Reliable performance
Baldor-Reliance and ABB NEMA Motors are engineered with safety and performance in mind.Fit for purpose
Farming is not a one-size-fits-all operation, and neither are the motors that power it. That’s why Baldor-Reliance Farm Duty Motors are designed with feature- and application-specific solutions to meet the unique demands of agricultural work.Common Applications
Conveyors, Fans, Pumps, Grain stirrers, Augers
Industries
ABB’s Baldor-Reliance® General Purpose motors deliver outstanding performance and durability across a wide range of industrial applications. Offered in both open and enclosed designs, these versatile motors are available in NEMA Premium and NEMA Super-Premium options, ensuring superior reliability, efficiency, and operational excellence.
Food & beverage
ABB provides a complete range of energy-efficient motors designed for the food and beverage industry. Our motors power every stage of the process - from raw material handling to processing, conveying, packing, and storage - while meeting the industry's high standards for performance and reliability.
Grain handling
Grain handling and flour milling typically use conveyors, blowers, sieves, mills, mixers and packing machines. Many flour mills work around the clock to meet demand, so reliability is really in focus. You can rely on our solutions to boost productivity and energy efficiency while ensuring the safety of both your personnel and plant.
