Their most obvious function is to protect the motors from being damaged by collisions. Accidents are bound to happen in factories, not matter how careful the workers are. New equipment might be moved in and the old out, or machines might be rearranged. There are any number of possible collisions in such a process, from machines getting bumped or dropped. Depending on the type and layout of a factory, raw materials or finished goods might be moved through the area where the motors are. This opens up the possibility of collisions with forklifts or stacks of material falling on the motor. Industrial motor covers protect against all these types of collisions, as well as against liquid spills. They can protect against rain coming through a leaky ceiling. Covers prevent damage in another, less expected way as well. Many are designed to create a layer of cool air around the motor, keeping down its operating temperature. This makes it less likely to overheat, causing damage, and can extend the life of the motor. It can also help both lower energy and replacement costs. Efficient motors and their cooling fans will use less electricity, and need maintenance and replacing less often.

There are many precautions that factory owners and managers need to take. Many deal with safety, making sure their workers do not get injured or sick from their work space. They also need to protect their machinery, though. Industrial motor covers are one way to protect motors, which can be a large investment depending on the factory.
