Dayton 6WY59 Washdown Brake Motor
The Dayton 6WY59 is a three-phase brake motor rated at 1-1/2 hp with a nameplate speed of 1,750 RPM. It operates on 230/460V AC power and fits a standard 56C frame for C-face mounting. The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure suits washdown environments where moisture and debris are present.
Installation notes and common issues
The motor mounts via a C-face flange and rotates in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. It is usable at 208V but not at 200V, so verify supply voltage before wiring. Full-load current is 4.0A at 230V or 2.0A at 460V, and the unit has no built-in thermal protection, requiring external overload devices.
Suitable applications and limitations
This motor suits continuous-duty industrial equipment needing a brake function in wet or humid conditions, such as food-processing conveyors or packaging lines. Buyers who need single-phase power, 200V operation, integrated thermal overloads, or a different frame size should look at other options.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the motor is running correctly after installation?
Verify the shaft turns at 1750 RPM, current draw reads 4.0 A at 230 V or 2.0 A at 460 V, and the brake releases cleanly when power is applied.
What ships with the motor and what must I source separately?
The motor ships complete with brake and C-face mounting; you must supply wiring, overload protection, and any coupling or gearbox required by the driven equipment.
Which voltage connection should I use for a 230 V three-phase supply?
Wire the motor for the low-voltage 230 V connection; the nameplate shows 4.0 A full-load amps at that voltage and the motor is also usable at 208 V.
