ABB expands severe duty motor line with Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motor

The Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motor is a true severe duty motor that bridges the gap between the ABB’s Baldor-Reliance General Purpose and XEX premium severe duty motor lines.

“When it comes to performance, the Severe Duty XT is a versatile option for what the industry expects as severe duty,” said Matt Rodebush, ABB’s NEMA Motors Global Segment Manager. “With Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT motors, premium features come standard on a wide variety of configurations, so it’s easy to get up and running with a high-performance motor for the most demanding applications.”

Baldor-Reliance Severe Duty XT Motors are the solution to most severe duty application challenges.
