HVAC belt-drive motor
The Dayton 6XH54 is a split-phase belt-drive motor built for HVAC control applications. It delivers 1/6 HP at 1,140 rpm and a second speed of 1/15 HP at 850 rpm from a 115 V AC, 60 Hz supply. The 56CZ frame uses rolled-steel construction with an open dripproof enclosure rated for continuous duty up to 104 °F ambient.
Face-mount installation notes
The motor mounts via a 56CZ face with a 5/8 in. shaft and operates in any angle, allowing flexible positioning inside air-handling equipment. Rotation is field-reversible between CW and CCW. No thermal protection is fitted, so external overload safeguards must be provided by the installer. Full-load current draws 4.2 A on high speed and 3.1 A on low speed with a 1.35 service factor.
Suits two-speed fan and blower duty
This unit suits technicians replacing or specifying two-speed belt-driven blowers or fans in commercial HVAC systems where a 56CZ face mount and split-phase operation are required. It does not suit applications needing built-in thermal overload protection, inverter-duty insulation or enclosed enclosures for wet or dusty environments.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the motor is running at the correct 1140 rpm after installation?
Use a contact or laser tachometer on the 5/8 in. shaft while the motor is under load; the reading should settle at the nameplate 1140 rpm for the high-speed winding.
What comes with the 6XH54 motor and what must I supply separately?
The motor ships as a single unit with a 56CZ face mount and 5/8 in. shaft; you must provide the pulley or sheave, drive belt, 115 V AC supply wiring, overload protection, and any mounting hardware for your application.
Which speed should I select for my HVAC application — the 1140 rpm or the 850 rpm winding?
Choose the 1140 rpm winding (4.2 A) for standard airflow needs; switch to the 850 rpm winding (3.1 A) only when lower airflow and reduced current draw are required by the system design.
