White epoxy-coated washdown motor with yoke mount

Dayton

Dayton 5M063 1/4 hp 1700 RPM 115/230 VAC 56YZ Frame Washdown Motor

SKU CH-D4WD-E20TA

Single-phase washdown motor delivers 1/4 hp at 1,700 RPM with 115/230 VAC dual-voltage operation in a 56YZ frame

  • Single-phase PSC design simplifies wiring and reduces components
  • 1/4 hp at 1,700 RPM delivers steady torque for washdown duties
  • Dual-voltage 115/230 V AC fits existing plant power without rewiring
  • Epoxy-coated totally enclosed air-over enclosure resists moisture and chemicals
  • Auto thermal protection and Class F insulation guard against overheating

Washdown Motor for Wet Environments

The Dayton 5M063 is a single-phase washdown motor rated at 1/4 hp with a nameplate speed of 1700 RPM. Its totally enclosed air-over enclosure and epoxy-coated finish resist moisture and cleaning agents. The 56YZ frame and yoke mounting allow all-angle installation. Automatic thermal protection and Class F insulation support continuous duty in 40 degrees C ambient conditions.

Dual-Voltage Wiring Simplifies Installation

The motor operates on 115/230 VAC at 60 Hz with full-load currents of 3.5 and 1.7 amps respectively. This dual-voltage capability lets installers match the supply without a separate transformer. The permanent split capacitor design provides reliable starting torque for pumps, fans and conveyors. Reversible CW/CCW rotation adds flexibility for driven equipment.

Single-Phase Limits on Starting Torque

Single-phase PSC motors produce lower starting torque than three-phase or capacitor-start designs. Heavy inertial loads may need a larger motor or a different starting method. The 1.0 service factor offers no overload margin beyond nameplate rating. Operation above 40 degrees C ambient or at voltages outside 115/230 VAC is not supported by the nameplate data.

Questions about this item

How often should the epoxy-coated finish on this 56YZ frame motor be inspected for wear in washdown environments?

The epoxy coating protects against moisture and chemicals, so inspect it during routine maintenance for any chips or degradation that could expose the metal underneath.

What thermal limit will the Class F insulation reach first during continuous 1700 RPM operation at 40 °C ambient?

The motor has automatic thermal protection that trips before the Class F insulation exceeds its temperature rating, preventing overheating during sustained use.

How much heat and noise does the totally enclosed air-over design produce when running all day at 3.5 A on 115 V?

The TEFC enclosure dissipates heat through its external fan, keeping surface temperatures manageable, while the permanent split capacitor design runs quietly at 1700 RPM.
