Capacitor-start motor for 115 V AC equipment
The Dayton 5FTT1 is a single-phase, capacitor-start motor rated for 115 V AC at 60 Hz. It delivers two selectable speeds with nameplate ratings of 1/5 hp at 1,725 RPM and 3/4 hp at 1,140 RPM, making it suited for general-purpose machinery that needs dual-speed operation on standard mains voltage.
Dual horsepower ratings with continuous duty
At the low-speed setting the motor produces 1/5 hp while drawing 5.2 A full-load current, and at the high-speed setting it produces 3/4 hp while drawing 9.8 A. A service factor of 1.25 provides modest headroom for intermittent overloads, but continuous operation above nameplate ratings will exceed the design limits of the Class B insulation and automatic thermal protection.
Open drip-proof enclosure with cradle-base mounting
The open drip-proof steel frame allows airflow for cooling in clean, dry environments up to 40 °C ambient, but it is not sealed against dust or water ingress. A 56-frame keyed shaft and reversible CW/CCW rotation give flexibility for belt-drive or direct-coupling installations, while the cradle base provides a stable mounting platform for fixed equipment.

Questions about this item
Will the 56-frame cradle base bolt directly to the mounting pattern on my existing 56-frame equipment?
Yes, the motor uses a standard 56-frame cradle base that matches the bolt pattern on existing 56-frame machinery.
How can I confirm the motor is running at the correct 1,725 RPM high speed and 1,140 RPM low speed after wiring it for 115 V AC?
Measure shaft speed with a tachometer; the nameplate rates 1,725 RPM on high and 1,140 RPM on low at 60 Hz.
Does the box include the start capacitor and mounting hardware, or do I need to purchase them separately?
The motor ships with the capacitor-start mechanism installed; mounting bolts and a separate start capacitor are not included and must be sourced separately.
