Dayton 5K534 GP Motor Split Phase ODP 1/3 HP 1725 rpm 56Z
Single-phase split-phase motor delivers 1/3 hp at 1725 rpm in a 56Z frame
- 1/3 hp output for light-duty tasks
- 1725 rpm speed matches common HVAC needs
- 115 V single-phase power suits standard circuits
- Open drip-proof enclosure resists moisture ingress
- 56Z frame with cradle base simplifies mounting
Motor Type and Intended Use
The Dayton 5K534 is a general-purpose single-phase split-phase motor rated at 1/3 hp and 1725 rpm. It operates on 115V AC at 60 Hz with a full-load current of 7.0 A. The 56Z frame and cradle base mounting suit standard industrial footprints.
Upgrade Context
This motor replaces an existing split-phase unit of the same frame, voltage and speed when the original fails or loses efficiency. The jump is worth it when the application demands continuous duty with a 1.35 service factor and can tolerate the absence of built-in thermal protection.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Rated for continuous duty at a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees C, the motor relies on its open drip-proof enclosure and Class B insulation to dissipate heat. The 1.35 service factor provides a margin above nameplate horsepower during prolonged operation.

Questions about this item
What are the mounting dimensions and shaft type for the 56Z frame cradle base?
The motor uses a 56Z frame with a cradle base and a flat shaft design, so mounting bolts and coupling must match that frame size and flat keyway.
How do I wire the split-phase motor for 115 V operation and which step is often missed?
Connect the 115 V AC supply to the two power leads; the critical step is verifying rotation direction (CW/CCW) before final tightening, as the motor ships without a preset direction.
What maintenance does the open drip-proof motor with Class B insulation require?
Inspect the open vents for dust buildup every few months, keep ambient temperature below 40 °C, and plan for bearing lubrication or replacement since the motor has no thermal protection and runs continuous duty.
