Product identity
The FASCO UB588 is a single-phase shaded-pole unit bearing motor rated at 1/250 HP and 4 W output. It runs on 115 V AC at 60 Hz, draws 0.29 A at full load, and turns at a nameplate speed of 1,450 RPM. The motor is designed for continuous duty in HVAC control applications where a compact, direct-drive fan or blower is required.
Included hardware
The motor ships with a rear double-foot mounting arrangement and a clockwise lead-end shaft rotation. Its totally enclosed air-over enclosure and Class B insulation are built into the unit, so no separate mounting kit or thermal protector needs to be sourced. The impedance-protected design eliminates the need for an external overload device.
Voltage and temperature limits
Operation is confirmed only at 115 V; the motor is not usable at 200 V or 208 V. Maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C, and the service factor is 1.0, leaving no headroom for sustained overload or higher supply voltages. Builders needing multi-voltage capability or a higher temperature rating must select a different motor.

Questions about this item
Will the 1/250 HP shaded-pole motor need lubrication or bearing replacement over time?
The unit bearing design is sealed for life, so no routine lubrication is required; if the bearing eventually wears, the entire motor assembly is replaced rather than serviced.
What limits continuous operation at the rated 115 V and 450 RPM?
The motor is rated for continuous duty with impedance thermal protection and a maximum ambient temperature of 40 °C; exceeding that temperature will trip the protection first.
How much heat and noise does the 4 W motor produce when running all day?
At only 4 watts output and 0.29 A draw, heat rise is minimal and the totally enclosed air-over design keeps noise low during constant operation.
