DC Permanent Magnet Motor 12V
The Dayton 108920.00 is a 12V DC permanent magnet motor built to a 56C frame for face or base mounting. It delivers 1/2 HP at 800 RPM nameplate speed with a full-load torque of 4.4 in-lb. The motor draws 39.0 A at full load and operates on a continuous duty cycle. It suits equipment builders needing a compact, enclosed drive unit.
Totally enclosed nonventilated enclosure
The totally enclosed nonventilated design keeps dust and moisture out of the windings without external airflow. Class H insulation allows a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C, while the lack of thermal protection means the installer must provide external overload safeguards. External brushes simplify inspection and replacement during scheduled maintenance. Ball bearings and a 5/8 in shaft diameter complete the mechanical interface.
39.0 A full-load current
A 39.0 A draw at 12 V DC dictates the wire gauge, fuse rating and power-supply capacity required for safe operation. Builders must verify that their DC source can sustain this current continuously without excessive voltage drop. The 56C face mounting pattern and 1 7/8 in shaft length determine mechanical compatibility with driven equipment. Units needing a different voltage, frame size or lower current will not match this motor.

Questions about this item
How often do the external brushes on the Dayton 108920.00 need replacement?
External brushes are accessible for inspection and replacement; service interval depends on load and duty cycle, but the motor is rated for continuous operation at 40 °C ambient.
What thermal limit stops the motor first during sustained full-load runs?
The insulation class H and 40 °C maximum ambient temperature define the thermal ceiling; no internal thermal protection is fitted, so winding temperature must stay within class H limits.
How much heat and noise does the totally enclosed non-ventilated frame produce at 39 A continuous?
The TENV enclosure relies on surface convection, so the frame runs warm at 39 A full-load current; audible noise is limited to bearing and brush contact without a cooling fan.
