Dayton 5X400 Brake Motor 115V 1/2hp 3600RPM 56C

SKU CH-H7CG-JNV2F

Dripproof brake motor delivers 1/2 hp at 3600 RPM with 0.75 lb-ft static torque on a 56C flange

  • Magnetic disc brake provides .75 lb-ft static torque for reliable stopping power
  • 115 V AC coil voltage matches standard single-phase supply for simple wiring
  • Dripproof enclosure protects internal components in damp or dusty environments
  • 56C flange mount fits common NEMA motor frames for drop-in installation
  • 4 service factor delivers extra capacity for continuous-duty applications

Dayton 5X400 Brake Motor Overview

The Dayton 5X400 is a single-phase AC brake motor rated at 1/2 hp at 3600 RPM and 1/4 hp at 1800 RPM. It operates on 115 V AC and mounts to a 56C flange with a 5/8 in shaft. The unit includes a magnetic disc brake with 0.75 lb-ft static torque and a dripproof enclosure. Continuous duty is supported with a 1.4 service factor.

Suitable Applications and Limitations

This motor suits equipment requiring rapid stopping and holding torque on a 56C face, such as conveyors or packaging machinery running on 115 V single-phase power. Buyers needing three-phase operation or a different flange pattern should look elsewhere. The 0.75 lb-ft brake torque limits use on high-inertia loads that demand greater stopping force. CSA certification and ROHS compliance meet common regulatory needs.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Continuous duty rating and the 1.4 service factor allow extended operation at nameplate horsepower without overheating. The dripproof enclosure protects internal components from falling liquids and particles during long shifts. Brake engagement is magnetic, so stopping performance remains consistent over repeated cycles. The 4.06 in outside diameter and 4 in overall length fit compact machine frames.

Questions about this item

What voltage supply must I already have to run the 115 V AC coil?

The brake motor requires a 115 V AC single-phase supply for both the motor and the magnetic disc brake coil.

Will the 5/8 in shaft fit my existing 56C-flange equipment?

The unit mounts on a standard 56C motor flange and has a 5/8 in diameter shaft, matching common 56C frame dimensions.

How can I confirm the brake is holding correctly after installation?

Apply 115 V AC to release the brake, then cut power; the motor should stop and hold up to 0.75 lb-ft of static torque without rotation.
