Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a motor “definite purpose”?

A definite purpose motor is built for one dedicated function (such as powering a compressor), rather than serving a wide range of machines.

How is a definite purpose compressor motor different from a general motor?

A definite purpose compressor motor delivers the torque and duty cycle needed for compressors and includes protection features for continuous or high-demand operation.

Do definite purpose motors need frequent maintenance?

No. They are designed for durability and typically require only basic periodic checks.

Can I retrofit my equipment with a definite purpose motor?

Often, yes — we can help ensure that your replacement motor matches the required specs and mounting.
