Pump & Motor Identification Plates
Pump and Motor Identification Plates
Engraved metal tags for pump numbers, motor IDs, service designations and maintenance references.
Pumps and motors are often identified across piping diagrams, preventive-maintenance systems and facility records. A consistent physical tag helps technicians match the installed unit with the correct documentation, service history and replacement information.
Common pump and motor identifiers
- PUMP P-101 or MOTOR M-101 equipment numbers
- Service or process description
- Building, room, line or system location
- Asset and maintenance-management numbers
- Customer-supplied model, serial and operating information
- Replacement or service contact references
Separate tags or a combined plate?
Separate tags work well when pumps and motors are replaced independently. A larger combined plate can show the skid, system or assembly identifier. Send the desired relationship between the equipment and records so the layout remains understandable after maintenance.
Choosing a tag or plate size
| Format | Good starting point |
|---|---|
| 1.5 × 3 inches | Multiple lines, logos, ownership text and larger identifiers |
| 1 × 3 inches | Narrow equipment surfaces and moderate text |
| ⅝ × 2⅞ inches | Short, usually single-line identification |
| Custom plate | Long wording, equipment-specific dimensions, unusual mounting or required data fields |
The amount of information, character height and mounting holes determine the practical plate size. Send the full layout before choosing the smallest possible tag.
Standard bulk tags available online

1.5 × 3-inch matching tags
Repeat the same identification, ownership wording or equipment information across the order.

1.5 × 3-inch sequential tags
Use a consecutive number range, prefix and numbering format for organized identification.
Matching, sequential and smaller formats are also available in related sizes. Projects with different text on every tag, custom dimensions, logos or unusual holes can be quoted from an approved spreadsheet or drawing.
Request a pump or motor plate mockup
Send the required wording or spreadsheet, approximate dimensions, material or finish, hole pattern, mounting method and quantity. Include a photo or drawing of the installation when available. We can prepare a layout mockup and bulk quote.
