Dayton 6XJ11 1/2 HP 1725 rpm 56 Frame Split-Phase Motor
A 1/2 hp split-phase motor with a 56 frame, 1725 rpm speed, and 115V operation for continuous duty
- 1/2 hp motor delivers reliable power for continuous-duty HVAC applications
- Split-phase design starts under load without a capacitor
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled housing protects windings from dust and moisture
- Keyed 56-frame steel shaft fits standard mounts and resists slippage
- Reversible CW/CCW rotation simplifies installation in either airflow direction
Motor Type and Application
The Dayton 6XJ11 is a single-phase split-phase motor rated at 1/2 hp with a nameplate speed of 1,725 rpm. It operates on 115V AC at 60 Hz and draws 8.0 amps at full load. The unit suits general-purpose industrial or HVAC equipment requiring continuous duty in a 56 frame size.
Installation Notes
The motor mounts on a cradle base and uses a keyed shaft for driven-load attachment. Rotation is reversible between clockwise and counter-clockwise. No thermal protection is fitted, so external overload provision must be arranged by the installer. The totally enclosed fan-cooled steel frame tolerates ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees C.
Pre-Purchase Checks
Verify that the driven equipment matches the 1/2 hp output and 1,725 rpm speed at 60 Hz. Confirm the supply is 115V single-phase AC and that the starter or contactor can handle 8.0 A full-load current. Ensure the 56 frame cradle base and keyed shaft dimensions align with the existing mounting pattern and coupling.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the motor is running at the correct 1725 rpm after installation?
Use a tachometer on the keyed shaft to confirm the nameplate speed of 1725 RPM under load.
What comes with the motor and what must I supply separately?
The motor includes a cradle base and keyed shaft; you must provide the 115V AC power supply, wiring, overload protection and any driven equipment.
Which voltage and frame combination should I select for a 115V 56-frame replacement?
Choose the 115V AC, 56-frame, split-phase model rated at 1/2 hp and 1725 rpm for a direct match.
