Selection and installation method of GH/GV three-phase AC motor
H2: Step 2 – Choose Between CH, CV, GH, and GV
| Series | Mounting | Housing | Best For |
| CH | Horizontal (foot) | Aluminum | General-purpose horizontal drives |
| CV | Vertical (flange) | Aluminum | Space-saving vertical installations |
| GH | Horizontal (foot) | Cast iron | Heavy-duty, shock loads, continuous operation |
| GV | Cast iron | Cast iron | Heavy-duty vertical applications |
Decision Flow:
Horizontal → CH (standard) or GH (heavy-duty)
Vertical → CV (standard) or GV (heavy-duty)
Heavy loads, shock, 24/7 operation → GH or GV (cast iron housing, higher rigidity)
H2: Step 2 – Consider Environmental & Installation Factors
| Environment | Recommended Protection |
| Standard workshop (dry, ventilated) | Standard IP54 |
| Humid / washdown areas (food processing) | Enhanced seals, IP55 or higher |
| Dusty environments (woodworking, cement) | Dust-proof design, regular cooling fin cleaning |
| High temperature | Class F insulation (standard), ensure adequate ventilation |
Mounting Position (M1–M6):
Standard positions define the spatial orientation of the gear motor:
M1 – Horizontal, base at bottom
M2 – Motor vertically downward
M3 – Horizontal, base at top
M4 – Motor vertically upward
M5 / M6 – Horizontal, side-mounted
Specify the correct position when ordering to ensure proper lubrication and cooling.
FAQ
Q: Can I install a GH horizontal motor vertically?
A: No, GH is designed for horizontal use. Pick GV vertical series if you need flange mounting.Q: How long does a well-installed GH/GV motor last?
A: With correct installation and regular basic check, it can run over 20000 hours without major maintenance.Q: Do you provide installation support for bulk orders?
A: Yes, we can send you full installation video and technical support for large project orders.
