Dayton 4K059 Capacitor-Start Aeration Fan Motor 1 HP 115/230V 56Z

SKU CH-8GE4-G5877

Capacitor-start aeration fan motor delivers 1 hp at 450 RPM with dual 115/230 V operation and auto thermal protection

  • 1 HP capacitor-start motor drives aeration fans reliably
  • Dual 115/230 V AC voltage suits varied farm power supplies
  • 450 RPM nameplate speed matches typical aeration requirements
  • Totally enclosed air-over steel frame resists dust and moisture
  • Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation support continuous duty

Farm-duty aeration motor

The Dayton 4K059 is a single-phase capacitor-start motor rated at 1 hp for continuous-duty aeration fans. It operates on 115/230 V AC at 60 Hz and fits a 56Z frame with rigid-base mounting. Auto thermal protection and Class B insulation support ambient temperatures up to 50 °C.

Sustained-load behaviour

At full load the motor draws 12.4 A on 115 V or 6.2 A on 230 V while turning at 3,450 RPM. The totally enclosed air-over enclosure and service factor of 1 are built for uninterrupted operation without overload margin. Clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation is field-selectable.

Pre-installation checks

Verify that your supply voltage matches the dual-voltage nameplate and that the starter capacitor is compatible with capacitor-start design. Confirm the 56Z frame and rigid-base bolt pattern align with your fan housing. Ensure wiring can handle the rated full-load current for the chosen voltage.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the 1 HP capacitor-start motor draw when running continuously at 3,450 RPM?

At full load it pulls 12.4 A on 115 V or 6.2 A on 230 V, with Class B insulation rated for 50 °C ambient and automatic thermal protection for continuous duty.

What mounting and electrical connections must already be in place for the 56Z frame motor to operate?

A rigid-base mounting surface, 115/230 V single-phase supply with a suitable capacitor-start circuit, and a 56Z frame coupling are required before installation.

Will the reversible CW/CCW rotation and 56Z shaft fit the pulleys and belts on my existing farm-duty fan?

Yes — the motor offers selectable CW/CCW rotation, a standard 56Z shaft, and a 1.0 service factor, so it matches legacy fan drives using the same frame and voltage.
