1-3/8″ diameter × 3-3/8″ long, pre-dimensioned to NEMA MG-1 Part 4 spec for 215T frame motors. A NEMA Integral T-series frame, the workhorse of industrial general-purpose motors (1–30 HP). T-series shafts have a single keyway for coupling, pulley, or sheave drive and no axial tap. The extension carries a 5/16 SQ keyseat 2.41″ long for a coupling, sheave, or sprocket, cut to ANSI/ASME B17.1 key dimensions. Turned from 1045 medium-carbon steel to a bearing-fit 63 Ra journal; material, tolerances, and features stay editable in the configurator.
NEMA 215T Motor Shaft profile (configurator preview)
Material, tolerances, and additional features (extra grooves, set-screw flats, hole patterns) stay editable in the configurator. The drawing's title block stamps "SOURCE: NEMA 215T" so any deviations from the standard frame spec are visible to your buyer and to us.
Machined from 1045 by default. See the 1045 material guide, or change the grade in the configurator.
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 215T" 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.
