Motor for HVAC controls
The Leeson 098008.00 is a DC permanent magnet motor rated at 1/2 HP and 180 V. It fits a 56C frame with a removable base and a 5/8 inch shaft. The unit is built for continuous duty in HVAC control applications where a compact face or base mount is required.
Sustained load behaviour
The motor delivers 18 in-lb of full-load torque at 1,750 nameplate RPM with a 2.5 A draw. Its totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure and Class F insulation support operation up to a 40 °C ambient temperature. A service factor of 1 means the rating is the continuous limit without overload margin.
Replaces direct-drive PM motors in the same frame
This unit suits replacements where the original motor matches the 56C frame, 180 V supply and 1/2 HP output. The jump is worth it when the existing motor lacks a removable base, needs CW/CCW rotation flexibility or has exceeded its bearing life. It does not serve applications requiring thermal protection or a higher service factor.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 1/2 HP 180V DC motor generate during continuous operation at 40 Degrees C ambient?
The motor uses a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure and Class F insulation rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 Degrees C, allowing it to dissipate heat effectively during continuous duty without thermal protection.
What power supply and mounting hardware are required to run the 56C frame motor with its 5/8 in shaft?
You need a 180V DC power source capable of delivering 2.5 A full-load current, plus a compatible 56C face or base mount and a coupling or pulley suited to the 5/8 in diameter, 1 7/8 in long shaft.
Will the reversible CW/CCW rotation and 18 in-lb torque work with my existing HVAC drive system?
Yes, the motor provides 18 in-lb full-load torque at 1,750 RPM with reversible rotation, matching standard 56C frame dimensions and shaft size for direct replacement in compatible HVAC equipment.
