Dayton 1L389 Brake Motor
This Dayton 1L389 brake motor combines a C-face magnetic disc brake with a totally enclosed motor frame. It is built for industrial machinery that requires reliable holding torque and consistent speed control. The unit suits maintenance teams and OEMs fitting 140TC NEMA frames on conveyors, pumps or positioning equipment.
Thermals and power
The totally enclosed enclosure protects windings from dust and moisture during continuous operation. Coil voltage accepts 110/208-220V AC at 50 Hz and 115/208-230V AC at 60 Hz, matching common single-phase supplies. Maximum speed reaches 3,450 RPM while delivering rated torque without external cooling accessories.
6 ft-lb static torque
Static torque of 6 ft-lb determines whether the brake can hold the load when power is removed. Horsepower ratings are 2 hp at 1,725 RPM and 3 hp at 3,450 RPM. The 5/8 in shaft diameter and between-motor-and-reducer mounting location must match the driven equipment. Buyers needing higher holding torque or a different frame size should select another model.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Dayton 1L389 brake motor and which step is most often missed?
Mount the C-face brake between the motor and reducer, align the 5/8 in shaft, and wire the coil for 115/208-230 V AC at 60 Hz; the step most often missed is confirming the wiring matches the supply voltage before energising.
What maintenance or replacement will the brake need over time?
The magnetic disc wears with each stop; inspect the friction surface periodically and replace the disc when thickness falls below the minimum or when the 6 ft-lb static torque can no longer be held.
What limit appears first during sustained operation of this brake motor?
The 3,450 RPM maximum speed is the first hard limit; exceeding it risks overheating the coil and losing the 6 ft-lb holding torque on the 140TC NEMA frame.
