Generally, NO. On the other hand, a few motors were designed to be "convertible," in that their original windings were designed to work on multiple voltages by altering the wiring at the junction box terminals on the motor.
If it's not shown on a label inside the motor's junction box you'll need to find the Installation Guide for the motor, either by going on-line to the manufacturer's web site or by asking an electrical parts supplier for the info.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you rewire a 110 volt HID Magnetic coil ballast to use 220 volt?
Unless the ballast is a multi tap primary you can not rewire it for 220 volts.
Can a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts without damage?
No, unless the motor was wound for dual voltage operation, which it will state on the motor nameplate, a 110 volt motor run on 240 volts will be damaged.
Is there an adapter that will make a 110 volt refrigerator receptacle into a 220 volt?
No. You need to rewire the circuit from the electric panel.
Can you operate a 208 volt on 110 volt?
The United States is one of the only places in the world that uses 110 volts instead 220 volts. In order to operate 208 volts on a 110 volt electrical current, you will need a voltage converter.
How do you wire 347 volts ballast to 110 volt feed?
You don't. A ballast with a 347 volt input is a commercial ballast. The 347 volts comes from a 600 volt three phase four wire Y system. You can change the ballast out to a 120 volt and rewire the unit but in most cases it is cheaper to buy a completely new lighting fixture.
How many amps does a 110 volt 1.3 kw motor draw?
110 volts divided by 1,300 watts(1.3 kw) = .09 kw or 900 watts.
Can 110 volt be used for 115 volt?
Yes - usually house voltage varies from 110 to 120 volts.
How do you wire 220 volt from 2 110 volt lines. you have a concessions stand that is wired for 220 but everywhere you have been lately just keeps giving you 2 - 110 volt line?
If you combine two 110 volt power lines it does not give you 220 volts, the voltage will be the same. The only way to turn 110 volts into 220 volts is with a step-up transformer.
Can a 120 volt appliance run on a 110 volt circuit?
Yes. Circuits in a home are 120 volts but people tend to call them 110 volt circuits. The 120 volts you read on the appliance is the maximum voltage the appliance can handle. The actual voltage you will read at any outlet will range from 110 to 120 volts.
Are electric blankets 110 volt and 220 volt or just 110?
Typically they are either 220V or 110 volts not both. Plugging a 11o volt blanket to a 220 volt line has a huge risk of fire.
What if you plugged in a 110 volt in a 120 volt?
Typically residential voltage may range from 110 to 120 volts so there should be no problem.
Can 110 volt apliance work on 220 volts circuit?
NO - that is dangerous.
