8x6-Inch Encapsulated Submersible Motor

Franklin’s 8x6-Inch Encapsulated Submersible Motor is a heavy‑duty solution engineered for large, demanding water applications that require high flow rates, deeper installations, and long-term reliability in 8-inch wells with 6-inch pumps.

• Designed for vertical operation in 8-inch diameter or larger water wells, with a 6-inch NEMA pump mounting surface compatible with any 6-inch submersible pump or turbine.

• Ideal for irrigation systems, community water systems, and industrial or factory applications that demand substantial water flow and pressure.

• Full 3525 RPM design point delivers superior pump head and flow yield for deep-set, high-capacity submersible installations.

• Winding encapsulated in anti-tracking resin and a hermetically sealed stator area help protect against moisture and electrical breakdown, extending motor life.

• Kingsbury-type water-lubricated thrust bearing and FES91 exclusive water-based bearing lubrication provide smooth, maintenance-free operation under heavy thrust loads.

• Water Bloc removable lead connection and double-flanged design simplify handling, cable connection, and pump mounting for installers.

• Splined shaft maximizes shaft-to-coupling contact for efficient, reliable power transfer to 6-inch submersible pumps.

• Copper bar rotor supports consistent design performance and efficient motor operation over time.

• Pressure-equalizing diaphragm helps protect internal components from pressure fluctuations in deep wells.

• SubTrol heat sensors are standard on all 8-inch encapsulated 30 °C motors for enhanced thermal protection.

• Select models are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, making this 8x6-inch motor suitable for potable drinking water systems.
