NEMA-Frame Motor Shafts

NEMA-standard frame shafts, dimensioned and toleranced to NEMA MG-1.

Pick a frame below to load it into the configurator. The OD, length, keyseat, and (for JM/JP pump-mount frames) the axial impeller-retention tap are pre-dimensioned to NEMA MG-1 standards, with NEMA shaft extension tolerances applied by default. You stay in control of material, surface finish, tolerance class, and any added features. The drawing's title block stamps the source frame so any deviation from the standard is visible on the print.

Standard NEMA frame sizes

Pre-built shaft starting points sized to standard NEMA MG-1 frame dimensions, with NEMA shaft extension tolerances pre-applied. Click any frame to load it into the configurator. Material, tolerances, and added features stay editable; the drawing title block stamps the source frame so deviations are visible on the print.

Frequently Asked Questions

A NEMA 143T frame motor expects a 7/8″ shaft with a 3/16″ keyseat at a specific length. Get the dimensions wrong and the coupling, pulley, or impeller won't mate. Loading from a frame card guarantees you start with geometry that mates to the standard motor frame. Material and process choices stay yours.
Every frame loads with NEMA MG-1 Part 4 § 4.9 shaft extension tolerances: +0.0000/−0.0005″ for shafts up to and including 1.5″ diameter, +0.0000/−0.0010″ for shafts above 1.5″. Surface finish defaults to 63 µin Ra on shaft journals, which is the NEMA bearing-fit standard. Keyseat dimensions follow ANSI B17.1. You can tighten or loosen any of these in the configurator before placing the order.
Yes. The configurator lets you edit everything. If you change the OD or shaft length, the drawing will still stamp "SOURCE: NEMA 143T" in the title block, which signals to your buyer (and to us) that the part deviates from the standard frame spec.
Both are close-coupled pump motor mounts with an axial tapped hole in the shaft end for bolting down a pump impeller. JM (mechanical-seal) uses a shorter shaft (~2.9″ for 143–215 frames). JP (packed-pump) uses a longer shaft (~5.9″) to accommodate a sleeve and packing gland.
We cover subfractional through large-frame sizes (42 through 449), including T-series (143T to 449T), TS short-shaft direct-coupled variants (284TS to 449TS), C-face TC variants (143TC to 326TC), JM mechanical-seal mounts (143JM to 326JM), and JP packed-pump mounts (182JP to 326JP). Submersibles, P-Base vertical pumps, and pool/spa motors aren't in this folder because they need features the configurator doesn't expose today (splines, integral pipe threads). Contact us if you need one and we'll add it.
Yes. The cards default to 1045 carbon steel (the most common motor-shaft alloy), but you can switch to 4140 for fatigue strength, 304/316 stainless for washdown or food-grade environments, or any other material in the configurator's material list.
