Baldor-Reliance® RPM AC DPFV Variable Speed AC Motors


The ABB Baldor-Reliance® RPM AC DPFV motor is engineered for demanding industrial environments where space, performance, and power density are critical. With its advanced constant-torque design, superior mechanical construction, and optimized electrical features, this motor series provides reliable, high-efficiency performance in compact packages for applications such as extruders, test stands, web processing, and more.

Key Points

  • Compact, power-dense design — Square laminated frame up to three sizes smaller than standard NEMA fixed-speed motors.
  • Optimized for Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) — Rotor and stator configurations ensure high torque-to-inertia and fast acceleration.
  • Flexible configurations — Available in both induction and permanent magnet rotor designs with customizable base speeds.
  • Smart-ready — Provisions for ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor and QR code access to motor data.
  • 1000:1 constant torque capability — Delivers continuous constant torque from zero to base speed for superior variable-speed control.
  • Superior mechanical integrity — Feet-on-bracket construction provides maximum rigidity, vibration resistance, and bearing support.
  • Enhanced reliability — Features Positive Lubrication System (PLS®), insulated bearings, and shaft grounding brush as standard.
  • Certified quality — Manufactured under ISO 9001 standards with UL, CE, and CSA approvals.
