Us Motors 6306 Psc Ac Motor 1/3 Hp 1140 Rpm 56 Frame Odp

Product Description

The US MOTORS 6306 is a single-phase permanent split capacitor (PSC) AC motor built for general-purpose applications. It produces 1/3 horsepower at a nameplate speed of 1140 RPM and runs on a 60 Hz supply. The open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure allows airflow through the motor for cooling while protecting internal components from dripping liquids. Ball bearings support the shaft for reliable, low-maintenance operation. The motor carries a Class B insulation rating and a 1.35 service factor, giving it moderate overload tolerance. HVAC technicians, equipment service pros, and industrial maintenance workers are the typical installers for this motor type.

This motor fits general-purpose equipment where a 56-frame, cradle or cradle base mount configuration is required. The reversible rotation makes it adaptable to a range of driven loads. Typical applications include fans, blowers, small pumps, and light-duty equipment in commercial and residential settings. The 5/8-inch shaft diameter by 1-7/8-inch shaft length suits standard sheaves and couplings used in these installations. A single-speed design keeps wiring straightforward for replacement and retrofit work.

• Cradle and cradle base mount fits standard 56-frame equipment footprints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for general-purpose single-phase PSC motors in 56-frame cradle-mount applications. Cross-references Dayton part number 6XH93.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with single-phase motor wiring and applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power before removing the existing motor or making any wiring connections. Verify shaft diameter, frame size, mount style, and rotation direction match the driven equipment before energizing. Do not exceed the motor ambient operating temperature rating of 40 degrees F minimum; ensure the installation environment falls within the motor design range.
