yes it requires a C faced motor, some motors are combination motors, in that they have a "c face" and a solid base as well,
they are used on direct coupled items, pumps, gear boxes, and other items that would benefit from a direct coupling,
note: the C face is not one size fits all, it depends on the motor frame size, 42, 48, 56, 142,182, and so on, so make sure
your matched up for compatibility,
also motor RPM fro gear box,
double check shaft types as well, I have seen some pumps with application special shafts, (more important if your using a old pump motor),
