Dayton

Dayton 52JE42 AC Gearmotor 18 RPM 8.0 in-lb 115V

SKU CH-NZEJ-FTHMK

AC gearmotor delivering 8.0 in-lb torque at 18 RPM with a 174.7:1 ratio, 30 lb overhung load capacity, and 115 V operation

  • 8 in-lb max torque handles demanding loads
  • 18 RPM nameplate speed suits precise motion
  • 115 V AC operation fits standard supply
  • 7:1 gear ratio delivers high reduction
  • 30 lb overhung load capacity supports radial force

Product Identity

The Dayton 52JE42 AC gearmotor delivers 18 RPM output speed and 8.0 in-lb maximum torque for machinery automation tasks. It operates on 115V AC supply and uses a permanent split capacitor motor with open air-over enclosure for continuous duty.

Installation Notes

Horizontal mounting orientation is required with the output shaft at 1.09 in height and parallel shaft alignment. The cone brake engages on power loss; verify the 30 lb overhung load capacity is not exceeded by pulleys or couplings to prevent premature bearing wear.

Application Limits

The fixed 174.7:1 gear ratio sets speed and torque permanently, so the unit cannot be adapted for higher speed or different voltage without replacement. Overhung load capacity of 30 lb restricts radial force from belt drives or direct linkages.

Highlights

  • 18 RPM nameplate speed suits precise motion
  • 115 V AC operation fits standard supply
  • 7:1 gear ratio delivers high reduction

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the gearmotor is running at the correct 18 RPM after wiring it to 115V AC?

Measure the output shaft speed with a tachometer; it should read 18 RPM under load when supplied with 115V AC, and the shaft should rotate freely in either CW or CCW direction.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy a capacitor or mounting hardware separately?

The gearmotor ships as a complete unit with the permanent split capacitor already integrated and the output shaft installed; mounting bolts or brackets for the horizontal orientation are not included.

Which gear ratio or torque version should I choose for a conveyor needing 8.0 in-lb at 18 RPM?

This model provides exactly 8.0 in-lb maximum torque at 18 RPM with a 174.7:1 gear ratio, matching the stated conveyor requirement.
