Dayton 2NKY2 2 HP 3-Phase Motor 230/460V 143-5T/56HZ Frame
A 2 HP three-phase motor with rigid-base mounting and an open dripproof enclosure for industrial pneumatic equipment
- 2 HP output drives pneumatic tools efficiently
- Dual-voltage 230/460 V AC fits multiple supplies
- 143-5T/56HZ frame matches compressor mounts
- Rigid base mounting secures motor in place
- Open dripproof enclosure allows airflow for cooling
General Purpose Motor 2 HP
The Dayton 2NKY2 is a three-phase general purpose motor rated at 2 horsepower. It suits industrial facilities that need reliable torque for power transmission and pneumatic equipment. The rigid base mounting secures the unit directly to compressors or machinery frames. Its open dripproof enclosure promotes airflow for cooling during continuous operation.
Voltage Range 200-460V AC
This motor replaces single-voltage units that limit installation flexibility. The broad compatibility covers 200-230/440V, 208-220/440V, 208-230/460V and 230/460V supplies, so the same model fits multiple plant power systems. The jump is worth it when consolidation reduces spare-part inventory across different voltage zones. Facilities locked to a single nominal voltage gain no advantage from the extra range.
Frame 143-5T/56HZ Capacity
The 143-5T/56HZ frame matches standard compressor, air tank and pneumatic tool mounting patterns. It comfortably handles general purpose loads within the 2 HP rating across the listed voltage bands. Headroom runs out when an application demands higher horsepower, a totally enclosed enclosure for wet or dusty environments, or a different frame size for non-standard mounting.

Questions about this item
What frame size and mounting type does the Dayton 2NKY2 motor require?
The motor uses a 143-5T/56HZ frame with a rigid base mounting type that bolts directly to the compressor or driven equipment.
How is the Dayton 2NKY2 wired for 230 V versus 460 V, and what step is often missed?
The motor accepts 200-230/460 V AC ranges; the nine leads must be reconfigured into the correct delta or wye pattern for the chosen voltage, and the grounding conductor is frequently omitted.
What ongoing maintenance does the open dripproof enclosure on the Dayton 2NKY2 demand?
Because the open dripproof design allows airflow but not dust or moisture protection, the windings and bearings need periodic cleaning and relubrication to prevent contamination buildup.
