Dayton 6XH57 1/6 HP 1725 rpm 48Z Split-Phase HVAC Control
Two-speed split-phase motor delivers 1/6 hp at 1725 rpm and 1/18 hp at 1140 rpm from a 48Z frame with 115 V supply
- Two-speed operation matches variable load needs
- 1/6 hp output handles demanding HVAC tasks
- 115 V AC supply fits standard building power
- Open drip-proof enclosure resists moisture ingress
- 35 service factor allows sustained overload running
HVAC Split-Phase Motor
The Dayton 6XH57 is a general-purpose split-phase motor designed for HVAC control applications. It operates on 115V AC single-phase power at 60 Hz and features an open drip-proof enclosure. The unit mounts horizontally on a cradle base with a flat shaft design.
Dual-Speed Capacity and Headroom
The motor delivers two operating speeds with nameplate ratings of 1,725 RPM at 1/6 HP and 1,140 RPM at 1/18 HP. Full-load current draws 4.0 amps at high speed and 2.4 amps at low speed. A 1.35 service factor provides thermal headroom for continuous duty within a 40 °C maximum ambient temperature.
48Z Frame and Rotation Constraint
The 48Z frame size and fixed horizontal cradle-base mounting determine whether this motor fits the existing equipment footprint. The shaft rotates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, but the mounting position cannot be changed to vertical. Insulation class B and no built-in thermal protection complete the specification.

Questions about this item
Will the 48Z frame and cradle-base mounting let me bolt this motor onto the same brackets I use for my older 48-frame unit?
The motor uses a 48Z frame with a cradle base designed for horizontal mounting, matching the bolt pattern of standard 48-frame brackets.
How can I confirm the motor is running at the correct 1725 rpm high speed and 1140 rpm low speed after wiring it to 115 V AC?
Measure shaft speed with a tachometer; the nameplate lists 1725 rpm on high speed and 1140 rpm on low speed at 60 Hz.
Does the box include a capacitor, run capacitor, or mounting hardware, or do I need to source those separately?
The motor ships as a split-phase unit with no capacitor required; mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.
