Capacitor-Start/Run Motor for General Purpose Use

This Dayton 6XJ26 motor operates on single-phase 115V AC power at 60 Hz. It features a capacitor-start/run design with a 56 frame and cradle base mounting. The open drip proof enclosure suits indoor machinery tasks requiring continuous duty cycles.

Dual Horsepower Ratings with Two Speed Options

The motor delivers 1/4 hp at 1,725 RPM and 3/4 hp at 1,140 RPM, drawing 7.9 A and 4.9 A respectively. A 1.25 service factor provides headroom for intermittent overloads. Operation stops at the 40°C ambient limit since no thermal protection is included.

Cradle Base Mounting with Reversible Rotation

The steel frame uses a keyed shaft and cradle base for secure installation. CW/CCW rotation flexibility adapts to drive requirements. Insulation Class B and continuous duty rating support extended runs without additional cooling provisions.

Questions about this item

Will the 56-frame cradle-base motor bolt onto the mounting points on my existing bench grinder?

The motor uses a 56-frame cradle base with a keyed shaft; if your grinder also uses a 56-frame cradle pattern the bolt holes line up, otherwise you will need an adapter plate.

How can I verify the two-speed capacitor-start/run motor is running correctly after wiring it to 115 V?

With no load, the low-speed winding should settle near 725 RPM and the high-speed winding near 1140 RPM; measure current draw and confirm it stays below 7.9 A on low speed and 4.9 A on high speed.

Does the box include the start and run capacitors, or must I source them separately?

The motor is sold as the motor unit only; the required start and run capacitors for the capacitor-start/run design are not included and must be purchased separately.
