There are two classifications for the mounting of electric motors -- horizontal and vertical. Horizontal motors are foot mounted, while vertical motors are flange-mounted. Horizontal foot mounted motors that have flanges and are wall-mounted vertically are not classed as vertical motors. Electrically, a vertical motor must be designed with enough starting torque to start the driver equipment under the specified starting conditions, and to produce the required horsepower rating to obtain the specified flow and pressure efficiently. Mechanically, the motor must be designed with special features that are unique to vertical motor applications.

The following list of application considerations imposed on the motor dictates the motor design and construction:

• Flange mounting type
• Solid shaft motors vs. hollow shaft motors
• Non-reversing ratchet and disengaging clutch
• Thrust loading capabilities and bearing arrangements
• Bearing lubrication
• Endplay requirements
