Dayton 6WY48 Brake Motor 2 hp 3480 RPM 230/460 V AC 56HC Frame
Three-phase washdown brake motor delivers 2 hp at 3480 RPM with 230/460 V AC input and 56HC frame
- TypeBrake Motors
- 2 hp output drives demanding washdown applications
- 3480 RPM nameplate speed for high-speed cycles
- Dual 230/460 V AC voltage fits common three-phase supplies
- 56HC frame matches standard mounting dimensions
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure resists moisture and contaminants
Application Scope
This Dayton brake motor suits washdown environments that need a 2 hp three-phase motor with a 56HC frame. It runs at 3480 RPM on 230/460 V AC and carries a 1.15 service factor. The enclosure is totally enclosed fan cooled with Class F insulation rated for 40 °C ambient.
Voltage Fit
The motor is usable at 208 V and at 230/460 V, but it is not usable at 200 V. Installations that can only supply 200 V must select a different motor. Continuous duty and CW/CCW rotation are supported.
Critical Spec
The 56HC frame and 2 hp output at 3480 RPM determine whether this unit matches the mounting and power requirements of the driven equipment. Verify the frame and speed before ordering.

Questions about this item
How often will the brake on the 6WY48 motor need inspection or replacement?
The brake is integrated into the motor; with continuous duty at 40 °C max ambient and Class F insulation, plan on checking lining wear during scheduled plant maintenance intervals.
What thermal limit appears first when the 2 hp motor runs continuously at 3480 RPM?
The insulation system is rated Class F with a 40 °C maximum ambient; sustained overload beyond the 1.15 service factor will reach that temperature limit before other components.
How much heat and noise should I expect from the totally enclosed fan-cooled 56HC frame running all day?
The TEFC enclosure moves cooling air over the frame while the motor draws 4.8 A at 230 V or 2.4 A at 460 V; audible output is typical for a 2 hp industrial brake motor in a washdown enclosure.
