Dayton 6XH51BG Belt Drive Motor Split Phase 1/3HP 1140rpm HVAC Control
Split-phase belt-drive motor delivers 1/3 hp at 1,140 rpm with 115 V AC input and 7.4 A full-load current
- Split-phase motor starts reliably on 115 V single-phase supply
- 1/3 hp output powers HVAC fans and blowers continuously
- 1140 rpm nameplate speed matches typical belt-drive applications
- 35 service factor handles intermittent overload without tripping
- Open drip-proof enclosure and steel frame suit all-angle mounting
Motor type and rating
This is a Dayton split-phase belt-drive motor rated at 1/3 hp with a nameplate speed of 1140 rpm. It runs on 115 V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz and draws 7.4 A at full load.
Suitable and unsuitable applications
The motor suits continuous-duty fan or blower drives in HVAC systems that accept a 56CZ C-face frame and an open drip-proof enclosure. It is not suited for environments exceeding 40 °C ambient, for installations requiring built-in thermal protection, or for multi-speed or reversible-speed control without external circuitry.
Build integration
The steel frame and all-angle mounting give flexibility in equipment layout, while the 2 7/16 in shaft length and CW/CCW rotation allow direct coupling to existing pulleys. A 1.35 service factor provides margin for intermittent overload, and Class B insulation supports the continuous duty cycle.

Questions about this item
What power supply do I need for this 115V AC motor?
This motor runs on a 115V AC single-phase supply rated for 60 Hz and draws 7.4 A at full load, so the circuit and wiring must handle that current continuously.
Will the 56CZ frame and C-Face mount match my existing 56-frame blower housing?
The 56CZ frame with C-Face mounting bolts directly to standard NEMA 56 C-Face patterns, and the all-angle mounting lets you orient it to fit the original housing.
How can I verify the motor is running at the correct 1140 rpm after installation?
With a 1.35 service factor and continuous duty rating, measure shaft speed under load; it should read 1140 rpm at 115 V AC, and the open drip-proof enclosure stays within the 40 °C ambient limit.
