Dayton 1/4 hp Capacitor-Start Motor
This single-phase motor delivers 1/4 horsepower at 450 RPM for general-purpose applications. It operates on dual-voltage 115/230V AC power at 60 Hz and fits a standard 56 frame. The capacitor-start design provides the necessary torque for typical industrial equipment.
Continuous Duty at 40°C Ambient
Rated for continuous operation, the motor maintains its output up to a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. A 1.0 service factor means it runs at nameplate horsepower without overload capacity. Auto thermal protection resets automatically after an over-temperature event.
Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled Construction
The TEFC enclosure protects internal windings from dust and moisture while an external fan moves air over the frame. Insulation Class B materials handle the heat generated during continuous duty. Full-load current draws 5.2 amps at 115V or 2.6 amps at 230V.

Questions about this item
How much heat and power does the 1/4 hp capacitor-start motor draw at 450 RPM under continuous duty?
The motor runs at 115/230 V AC, drawing 5.2 A at 115 V or 2.6 A at 230 V, with a 1.0 service factor, Class B insulation and a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation.
What voltage supply and mounting base does the 56-frame motor need to operate?
It requires a 115/230 V AC single-phase 60 Hz supply and mounts on a cradle base that accepts all-angle installation.
Will the CW/CCW reversible shaft on this 56-frame motor couple to my existing keyed-drive equipment?
Yes, the motor has a keyed shaft with reversible rotation, designed to fit standard 56-frame couplings and pulleys.
