Dayton 6K710 Farm Duty Motor 1/3 HP 1725 RPM

SKU CH-MMGY-SEKV0

Capacitor-start farm-duty motor delivers 1/3 HP at 1725 RPM with dual-voltage 115/230 V operation and manual thermal protection

  • Product typeElectrical
  • High torque for demanding farm tasks with 1/3 HP capacitor-start motor
  • Dual-voltage 115/230 V single-phase operation suits varied power supplies
  • Totally enclosed fan-cooled frame 56 design protects against dust and moisture
  • Manual thermal protection and Class B insulation enhance motor longevity
  • Rigid base mounting with 5/8 in shaft ensures secure, vibration-resistant installation

Farm-Duty Motor Overview

The Dayton 6K710 is a capacitor-start, totally enclosed fan-cooled motor rated at 1/3 HP and 1725 RPM nameplate speed. It operates on 115/230 V single-phase power at 60 Hz and fits a NEMA 56 frame. The unit is built for agricultural and industrial equipment requiring reliable torque.

Build Integration

The rigid base mounting and 5/8-inch shaft diameter allow direct coupling to pumps, fans, or gearboxes without adapter plates. Manual thermal protection and Class B insulation protect windings during overload, while the 1.15 service factor absorbs intermittent load spikes. Ball bearings and a rolled-steel frame reduce maintenance intervals.

Capacity and Headroom

At full load the motor draws 6.6 amps at 115 V or 3.3 amps at 230 V, providing ample headroom for typical farm-duty cycles within a 40 °C ambient limit. It is not suited for applications demanding higher horsepower, three-phase supply, or continuous operation above the nameplate rating.

Questions about this item

How long can the 1/3 HP motor run continuously before the manual thermal protection trips at 40 °C ambient?

The motor carries a 1.15 service factor and manual thermal protection; sustained full-load operation at 40 °C will eventually cause the protector to open, requiring a manual reset.

What is the noise and heat output of the totally enclosed fan-cooled 56-frame motor when running all day at 1725 RPM?

The TEFC design uses an internal fan for cooling; expect typical industrial motor noise and a frame temperature rise within Class B insulation limits at 40 °C ambient.

Which mounting hardware and voltage supply must I already have to install this 115/230 V rigid-base motor?

You need a 56-frame rigid base mounting pattern, a 5/8 in. shaft coupling, and a single-phase 115 V or 230 V, 60 Hz supply wired for the selected voltage.
