Dayton 6K517 Split-Phase Motor
The Dayton 6K517 is a general-purpose single-phase motor built for continuous-duty applications. It delivers 1/4 hp at 1725 rpm from a 115V AC supply drawing 4.9 A full-load current. The 48Z frame with cradle-base mounting and flat shaft suits direct-drive or belt-driven equipment in HVAC and light-industrial settings.
Thermals Noise and Power
Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction dissipates heat without external airflow, supporting continuous operation up to 40 degrees C ambient. Class B insulation and a 1.0 service factor keep temperature rise within design limits at rated load. No internal thermal protector is fitted, so branch-circuit protection must follow applicable code. The motor runs on 60 Hz power with a 115V supply drawing 4.9 A at full load.
Rotation and Mounting Constraint
The shaft rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, selectable at installation, but the flat shaft and cradle base fix the mechanical interface. Builders needing a keyed shaft, flange mount or different frame size must choose another model.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the 48Z-frame motor with its cradle base and flat shaft?
Bolt the cradle base to a flat surface, align the flat on the shaft with the driven pulley or coupling keyway, and secure the set screw on the flat to prevent slipping.
Which parts will need replacement after long service?
The sealed bearings inside the TEFC enclosure and the external cooling fan are the only wearing parts; both can be swapped without rewinding the stator.
At what ambient temperature does the 1.0 service factor limit continuous operation?
The motor is rated for continuous duty up to 40 °C ambient; above that temperature the 1.0 service factor no longer guarantees full-load life.
