Leeson 108023.00 1 HP DC Motor
The Leeson 108023.00 is a 1 HP permanent magnet DC motor built for HVAC control applications. It operates at 180V DC with a 56C face and base mounting configuration. The motor delivers a nameplate speed of 750 RPM and a full load torque of 36 in-lb. It suits installers needing a direct-drive replacement in compatible air-handling equipment.
Continuous Duty Thermal Behaviour
Rated for continuous duty at a maximum ambient temperature of 40 Degrees C, the motor uses Class F insulation and a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure. It carries a 1.0 service factor with no built-in thermal protection, so sustained full-load current of 5.0 A relies on external safeguards. Ball bearings and the enclosed design support steady operation without scheduled lubrication.
Upgrade From Shaded-Pole or PSC Units
This motor replaces shaded-pole or permanent-split-capacitor units where variable-speed DC control is required. The jump is worth it when the system demands reversible CW/CCW rotation, higher starting torque, or tighter speed regulation. It does not suit applications needing an AC line-voltage input or a different frame size.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 180V DC motor generate when running continuously at 750 RPM?
The motor is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and uses a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure to manage heat during continuous duty.
What mounting hardware is required to install the 56C frame motor with its removable base?
The motor uses a 56C face and base mounting pattern with a 5/8 inch shaft diameter and 1 7/8 inch shaft length for coupling to driven equipment.
Will the 36 in-lb torque output and 5.0 A current draw work with my existing 180V DC speed controller?
The motor delivers 36 in-lb full-load torque at 5.0 amps on 180V DC, matching controllers rated for those voltage and current specifications.
