- Cast-iron frame and Class A insulation handle up to 40 °C ambient
What this motor is
The Dayton 4YFK2 is a unit bearing motor rated at 1/185 hp and 230 V AC. It uses a shaded-pole design and runs at 550 RPM with impedance thermal protection. The cast-iron frame is totally enclosed air-over and mounts by rear foot in horizontal or vertical shaft-up position.
Who it suits and who should look elsewhere
It suits technicians who need a low-output shaded-pole motor for 230 V AC HVAC controls. Builders who need higher horsepower, a different voltage, or a non-shaded-pole design should look at other options. The motor carries a California Proposition 65 warning for cancer and reproductive-harm chemicals.
Capacity and headroom
The motor delivers 4 W output at 0.17 A full-load current on 60/50 Hz supply. It operates up to 40 °C ambient with a 1.0 service factor and Class A insulation. Above that temperature or beyond the rated load the impedance protection will trip and the motor will not sustain operation.

Questions about this item
What voltage supply must the installation provide for the 230V AC motor?
The motor requires a 230V AC single-phase supply at 60/50 Hz.
Will the 1/185 hp output and 0.17 A draw suit the existing fan assembly I plan to keep?
At 4 W output and 0.17 A full-load current, the motor matches low-torque shaded-pole applications.
How can I confirm the motor is running correctly after wiring it?
Verify clockwise rotation from the lead end and that the casing stays below 40 °C ambient.
