Finish Thompson M5V-US M5V-US Drum Pump Motor 230 V
This is the Finish Thompson M Series drum pump, constructed in the motor enclosure. It is the drive unit that mounts on top of a Finish Thompson drum pump tube. The M5V-US is the North American supply variant of the splashproof 230 volt single phase drum pump motor.
A drum pump earns its keep by removing the tip and pour from the job. 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: What causes a motor to run hot?
Restricted cooling, a binding pump tube, or running past the duty cycle the motor was designed for.
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.
