Dayton 5M061 Washdown Motor 1/2 hp 1700 RPM 115/230V AC 56YZ Frame

SKU CH-BPGR-PJ4KD

Single-phase washdown motor delivers 1/2 hp at 1700 RPM with dual-voltage 115/230 V AC operation in a 56YZ frame

  • 1/2 hp output powers light-duty equipment
  • 115/230 V dual voltage fits common supplies
  • 1700 RPM nameplate speed suits standard loads
  • Totally enclosed air-over enclosure resists washdown moisture
  • Epoxy-coated finish protects against corrosion

Washdown Motor for Wet Environments

The Dayton 5M061 is a single-phase washdown motor rated at 1/2 hp with a nameplate speed of 1700 RPM. Its epoxy-coated finish and totally enclosed air-over enclosure protect internal components during washdown procedures. The unit operates on 115/230V AC power and fits a 56YZ frame yoke mounting.

Single-Phase Voltage and Frame Constraints

This motor runs on single-phase 60 Hz supply at either 115V or 230V AC, drawing 5.9 amps at the lower voltage and 2.9 amps at the higher voltage. The 56YZ frame and yoke mounting pattern limit direct replacement to equipment designed for that specific footprint. Auto thermal protection and Class F insulation support continuous duty within a 40 degree Celsius ambient limit.

Reversible Rotation for Flexible Installation

The motor shaft rotates in either clockwise or counterclockwise direction, allowing the installer to match the driven equipment without rewiring the load. This single specification determines whether the motor can replace an existing unit that requires a fixed rotation. All-angle mounting further simplifies alignment in tight spaces.

Questions about this item

Should I wire this 56YZ-frame washdown motor for 115 V or 230 V?

It is dual-voltage; choose 115 V for 5.9 A full-load current or 230 V for 2.9 A, matching your supply and breaker capacity.

What does the 1 700 RPM nameplate speed deliver on a 60 Hz line?

On 60 Hz power the motor runs at approximately 1 700 RPM, giving full 1/2 hp output at that speed.

How does the totally enclosed air-over enclosure affect where I can install it?

The epoxy-coated, totally enclosed air-over design resists washdown moisture and allows all-angle mounting in wet or humid areas up to 40 °C ambient.
