- Open dripproof enclosure allows airflow while resisting vertical droplets
- 56CZ face-mount frame fits common HVAC blower and fan assemblies
Product identity
The Dayton 6XH53BG is a single-phase, split-phase belt-drive motor rated at 1/2 horsepower and 1140 rpm. It runs on 115 V AC at 60 Hz and draws 9.2 A at full load. The unit suits HVAC equipment that requires continuous-duty operation in an open dripproof enclosure.
Installation notes
The motor uses a 56CZ face mount and a 5/8 in shaft that is 2 7/16 in long, allowing all-angle mounting. Rotation is reversible between CW and CCW. Thermal protection is not included, so external overload provision must be arranged by the installer. The rolled-steel frame and Class B insulation tolerate ambient temperatures up to 104 degrees F.
Deciding specification
The nameplate speed of 1140 rpm combined with the 1/2 hp output and 1.25 service factor determines whether this motor matches the driven load. Buyers needing a different speed, higher horsepower or built-in thermal protection should select another model.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the motor is running at the correct 1140 rpm after installation?
Measure the shaft speed with a tachometer; it should read 1140 rpm under load, and the current draw should stay near 9.2 A at 115 V AC.
What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?
The motor ships with its 5/8 in shaft and 56CZ face mount; you must provide the belt, pulleys, mounting hardware and 115 V AC supply wiring.
Which voltage and frame combination matches my existing 115 V AC, 56CZ face-mount setup?
This model is built for 115 V AC, 60 Hz, 56CZ frame, face mounting and 5/8 in shaft — select it only if all those match your replacement requirements.
