Finish Thompson M5V M5V Splashproof Drum Pump Motor 230 V
The M5V is a Finish Thompson M Series drum and container pump, built in the motor enclosure. It is the drive unit that mounts on top of a Finish Thompson drum pump tube. The M5V is the splashproof build of the 230 volt single phase drum pump motor, for work where the motor will see spray or wash down.
It exists so that product comes out of the container under control rather than over the lip of it. Motor and tube are a matched system, so the coupling, the mounting and the power rating all have to correspond, and a motor chosen on power alone will not necessarily fit the tube you have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the motor suitable for outdoor use?
That depends on its enclosure rating rather than the motor family, so check the enclosure against where it will be mounted.
Q: Can the motor be repaired rather than replaced?
Bearings, brushes and couplings are serviceable items, while a burned winding normally means a replacement motor.
Q: Does the motor need a filter or lubricator?
Air motors do, and running one on unfiltered or dry air is the fastest way to wear the vanes.
Q: Can this motor be used on any Finish Thompson pump tube?
No. Motor and tube are matched as a system, so the coupling, mounting thread and power rating all have to correspond.
