5 HP Electric Motor 3450 RPM Universal Frame 7/8" Shaft Compressor Duty 230V Single Phase

Note: This motor is marked 184T frame on the tag but is a universally designed motor and will work with all the frame sizes listed below. 

Product Description:

Replacement 5 HP Electric Compressor Duty Motor—specifically engineered to handle the heavy start-up load and continuous duty cycle of high-powered air compressors. This motor isn’t just compatible—it’s made to work hard, exactly where you need it.

Built with a 56HZ frame, this motor ensures that critical dimensions like shaft size, motor body, and mounting pattern align with your existing compressor setup. It is also compatible with 56Y and 182/4Y frame applications, offering added flexibility for a broader range of air compressor systems. If your current system uses a 56HZ, 56Y, or 182/4Y frame motor, you can expect a seamless installation without any rework or guesswork. Just bolt it on and get back to business. (Note: On 182/4Y Frame motors not always do they have a 7/8" diameter shaft make sure your shaft diameter is 7/8" for exact fitment.)

Delivering 3450 RPM of power, counter-clockwise shaft rotation, and single-phase operation at 230V, this motor is ideal for a wide range of compressor systems and industrial applications. It features thermal overload protection and a rugged open drip proof (ODP) enclosure to keep it cool and efficient under tough conditions.
