Dayton 6XJ46 GP Motor Split Phase 1/4HP 1725/1425rpm 48Z
Split-phase motor delivers 1/4 hp at 1725 or 1425 rpm on 110/220 V AC with automatic thermal protection
- Split-phase design delivers reliable single-phase starting torque
- 1/4 hp output suits light-duty HVAC and fan applications
- Dual-voltage 110/220 V AC wiring matches common supply circuits
- Auto thermal protection shuts down motor at 40 °C ambient limit
- Rigid-base 48Z frame with flat shaft enables direct rigid mounting
Motor type and intended use
The Dayton 6XJ46 is a general-purpose split-phase motor rated at one-quarter horsepower. It suits equipment that requires a single-speed drive with continuous duty and automatic thermal protection. Builders working on HVAC blowers, small pumps or similar light-industrial machinery will find it a direct fit for 48Z frame mounting.
Electrical and mechanical fit
The motor runs on 110 or 220 volts AC at 50 or 60 hertz, drawing 4.2 amps at the lower voltage and 2.1 amps at the higher. Its open drip-proof steel enclosure and Class B insulation tolerate ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. A flat shaft and rigid base mount simplify coupling to existing driven equipment without special adapters.
Upgrade context
This unit replaces a worn split-phase motor of the same frame, voltage and horsepower where the original ran at 1725 or 1425 RPM. The jump is worthwhile when the old motor has lost torque, runs hot or trips its thermal protector under normal load. It does not suit applications that demand capacitor-start torque, variable speed or a totally enclosed enclosure.

Questions about this item
How hot can the ambient temperature get before the motor hits its 40 °C limit under continuous duty?
The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C and carries a continuous duty cycle with automatic thermal protection.
What are the full-load current draws at 110 V and 220 V when the motor runs all day?
Full-load amps are 4.2 A at 110 V AC and 2.1 A at 220 V AC, with a service factor of 1.35 for sustained operation.
Does the rigid-base 48Z frame with a flat shaft match my existing mounting pattern and coupling?
The motor uses a NEMA 48Z frame, rigid base mounting and a flat shaft design; verify your driven equipment matches these dimensions.
