Capacitor-Start Motor 1/4 hp
The Dayton 5K263BG is a single-phase, capacitor-start motor rated at 1/4 hp with a 56 frame. It operates at 1,725 RPM on 60 Hz power and is built for continuous duty in general-purpose industrial applications. The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure and Class B insulation suit ambient temperatures up to 40 Degrees C.
Voltage and Mounting Compatibility
Verify that your supply matches the dual-voltage rating of 115/208-230V AC and that the full-load amps of 5.6 / 2.8 - 2.7 A fit your circuit protection. The rigid base mounting requires a flat surface and the shaft rotates CW/CCW, so confirm the driven equipment accepts reversible rotation. The motor is usable at 208V and carries a 1.15 service factor.
Suits Fixed-Speed Industrial Loads
This unit fits equipment needing a single-speed, capacitor-start motor with auto thermal protection and all-angle mounting. It does not serve applications that require variable speed, multiple speed taps or a different frame size. Buyers needing higher horsepower, three-phase input or a C-face mount should look at other models.

Questions about this item
What comes with the motor and what must I supply?
The motor ships as a single unit with a rigid base and totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure; you must supply the capacitor, wiring, mounting hardware and any pulley or coupling for the 5/8-inch shaft.
Should I wire this for 115 V or 208-230 V?
Choose 115 V if your supply is 115 V (full-load current 5.6 A); choose 208-230 V for 208 V, 230 V or any voltage in that range (full-load current 2.8 A at 208 V, 2.7 A at 230 V).
Will the 1,725 RPM nameplate speed hold under load?
The nameplate rating is 1,725 RPM at full load with a 1.15 service factor, so the motor will deliver rated torque at approximately that speed on a 60 Hz supply.
