The following table, lists some common rotation specifications which do not depend on the viewing reference.

Label CCW / LE or CCWLE CCWSE CW Rotation Only CW / OLE CWLE CWSE Double Shaft / CCWLE Double Shaft / CWSE CW / CCW or Reversible ECW ECCW Reversing Plug CW or CCW Descripition Counter clockwise from the lead end/ En sentido contrario a las agujas del extremo del cable Counter clockwise from the shaft end/ En sentido contrario a las agujas del extremo del eje Shaft can only rotate in a clockwise position Clockwise opposite lead end Clockwise from the lead end /Las agujas del reloj desde el extremo del cable Clockwise from the shaft end /Las agujas del reloj desde el extremo del eje Spins counter clockwise on a double shaft from the lead end Spins clockwise on a double shaft from the shaft end Clockwise or counterclockwise Either clockwise or counterclockwise, connected for clockwise rotation at factory Either clockwise or counterclockwise, connected for counterclockwise rotation at factory Switching the reversing plug changes the rotation of the shaft The real meaning of these labels is dependent on the manufacturer. (See illustration below)

For Fasco Motors: View the motor facing the SHAFT END to determine rotation. (unless otherwise noted)

Clockwise Rotation (CW)

Counter-Clockwise Rotation (CCW)

For General Electric Motors: View from opposite the shaft end (unless otherwise noted)

Clockwise Rotation (CW)

Counter-Clockwise Rotation (CCW)
