Dayton 2M034 AC/DC Motor 1/15 HP 5000 RPM 115V
Universal AC/DC motor delivers 1/15 hp at 5000 RPM on 115 V single-phase power in a non-standard frame
- Universal AC/DC operation runs on standard 115 V supply
- 1/15 HP output delivers 5000 RPM nameplate speed
- Single-speed simplicity with 1.2 A full-load current
- Open enclosure suits 40 °C maximum ambient temperature
- 1/4 in shaft with clockwise rotation for direct coupling
Universal AC/DC Motor for Low-Power Applications
This Dayton 2M034 motor delivers 1/15 HP at 5000 RPM from a 115V AC supply. It suits equipment requiring a compact, single-speed drive with a 1/4 inch shaft. The open enclosure and Class A insulation limit use to clean, ventilated areas below 40°C.
Integration Requirements and Space Savings
The motor mounts at any angle through its hole pattern and draws 1.2 A at full load. No thermal protection is built in, so the builder must provide external overload safeguards. Its non-standard frame replaces bulkier units where a small footprint is critical.
Upgrade Path and When to Switch
This unit replaces failed open-frame universal motors of identical voltage, speed and shaft size. The jump is worthwhile when the original lacks a service factor of 1 or runs hotter than the 40°C ambient rating. It is not for systems needing 200V or 208V compatibility, reversible rotation, or enclosed construction.

Questions about this item
Will the 1.2 A full-load current trip a 15 A breaker on a 115 V circuit?
No, the 1.2 A draw is well below a 15 A breaker rating, so the breaker will not trip under normal full-load operation.
How hot does the open-frame motor get when running continuously at 5000 RPM in a 40 °C ambient?
The insulation is Class A, rated for a maximum ambient of 40 °C; with no thermal protection fitted, surface temperature will rise above ambient during sustained operation.
What mounting holes and shaft size must my equipment provide for this motor?
The motor uses a hole-mount base and a 1/4 in. diameter shaft, so your driven equipment needs matching bolt spacing and a 1/4 in. bore coupling or pulley.
