Dayton 5K262 Capacitor-Start Motor 1/4 hp 56 Frame 115/208-230V 1725 RPM

SKU CH-QHCM-7ARD3

Capacitor-start motor delivers 1/4 hp at 1725 RPM on 115/208-230V AC, fits 56 frame with rigid base mounting

  • typeClosed Base
  • ¼ hp capacitor-start motor for general-purpose use
  • Dual-voltage 115/208-230 V AC suits multiple supplies
  • 1,725 RPM single-speed output at 60 Hz
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled frame with 1.15 service factor
  • Rigid 56-frame base mounts at any angle

General-purpose single-phase motor

This capacitor-start motor delivers 1/4 hp at 1,725 rpm from a 56 frame enclosure. It is suited for light industrial equipment such as fans, pumps and conveyors that need constant speed.

Dual-voltage operation at 115/208-230 V

Full-load current is 5.6 A at 115 V or 2.8 to 2.7 A at the higher voltages, with a 1.15 service factor for moderate overload headroom. The single-speed design cannot serve applications requiring variable speed.

Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction

Class B insulation and a 40 °C maximum ambient rating support continuous duty in typical indoor environments. No internal thermal protection is fitted, so external overload devices are required for safety.

Questions about this item

Will the 56 frame and 1/4 hp rating let this motor bolt onto my existing 56-frame mount?

Yes — the 56 frame matches standard 56-frame mounting dimensions and the 1/4 hp output fits the same load range.

How can I confirm the motor is running at the correct 1725 RPM after wiring it for 115 V?

Measure shaft speed with a tachometer; it should read 1725 RPM at 60 Hz with a 5.6 A draw at full load.

Does the box include the capacitor and mounting hardware, or do I need to buy them separately?

The motor ships as a rigid-base unit only; the start capacitor and any mounting bolts are not included and must be purchased separately.
