Can you replace a motor without changing the entire setup?

I'm curious about replacing a motor in an existing setup. Ideally, I'd like to keep the other components because they're still working properly, but I'm aware that a motor that looks similar might not be a suitable replacement. Apart from matching the voltage, what else should be measured or checked before ordering a new one? I'm thinking about mounting points, shaft dimensions, connectors, and controller compatibility, but I may be missing something important. If you've replaced motors before, which details would you verify first to avoid unnecessary modifications?

I'd begin with the original motor's identification label and datasheet, then compare the mechanical and electrical specifications of the replacement. Shaft diameter and length, mounting pattern, overall dimensions, rated voltage, current requirements, speed, and torque can all matter. The controller and cooling arrangements should also be considered, particularly if the replacement has different operating characteristics.

Good checklist! Measuring everything first should save a lot of hassle.
