Product Identity
The Dayton 6XJ44 is a single-phase capacitor-start motor rated at 1/4 hp in a 56C frame. It suits general-purpose machinery requiring a rigid base with a C-face mount and reversible CW/CCW rotation. Buyers who need a three-phase supply or integrated thermal overload protection cannot use this unit.
Thermals Noise Power
The totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure dissipates heat for continuous duty at up to 40 degrees C ambient. Full-load current draws 5.6 amps at 115 V or 2.8 to 2.7 amps at 208-230 V on a 60 Hz supply. No thermal protection device is fitted, so external overload safeguards must be provided by the installer.
Accessories Impact
The keyed output shaft accepts standard couplings or pulleys without additional machining. Dual-voltage wiring terminals allow connection at 115 V or 208-230 V without extra parts. The closed-base rigid mounting feet and C-face flange are integral, so no separate brackets or adapters are required for installation.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the 115/208-230V capacitor-start motor for 115 V operation?
Connect the dual-voltage leads for the low-voltage setting, attach the start capacitor to the designated terminals, and verify rotation is CW or CCW as required.
Which parts of the 1/4 hp 56C frame motor will need replacement over time?
The start capacitor, centrifugal switch contacts, and bearings are the components most likely to wear out during continuous duty.
What thermal limit stops the motor first during sustained full-load operation?
The Class B insulation rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C is the limiting factor under continuous duty.
