Product identity
The Leeson 108053.00 is a 1 HP DC permanent magnet motor built for continuous duty at 24 V. It suits equipment builders and maintenance teams who need a compact, totally enclosed drive for conveyors, pumps or HVAC machinery.
Build and mounting
A 56C face and base arrangement with a removable base gives flexibility for direct coupling or belt drive layouts. The 5/8 in shaft with ball bearings and 1 7/8 in shaft length supports standard couplings, while the totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure protects internals from dust and moisture.
Thermals and power
Class H insulation and a 40 °C maximum ambient rating allow sustained operation without thermal protection. At full load the motor draws 39.0 A and delivers 35 in-lb of torque at 800 RPM, so wiring and supply capacity must match that continuous current demand.

Questions about this item
What does the 24 V DC input mean for speed control?
The motor runs on 24 V DC; varying the voltage changes speed, but torque stays near 35 in-lb up to the 800 RPM nameplate limit.
Will the 56C face and 5/8 in shaft bolt to my existing gearbox?
The 56C frame provides a standard NEMA face mount with a 5/8 in diameter shaft 1 7/8 in long, matching common 56C gearboxes and couplings.
How do I wire the motor for reversible rotation without damaging the brushes?
Connect the two armature leads to a 24 V DC source; swap the leads to reverse direction — CW/CCW is supported, but ensure the supply can deliver 39.0 A at start-up.
