The Dayton 2M145 is a universal AC single-phase motor designed for high-horsepower output in compact applications. It delivers 1/2 HP rated power at 10,000 RPM, operates on 115V AC (compatible with multi-voltage options including 115/208-230V AC) at 60Hz, with a full-load current of 6.3A, Class A insulation, and a maximum ambient temperature of 40℃, with no built-in thermal protection.
Featuring a 3/8-inch shaft diameter, 1 1/4-inch shaft length, and counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation, this open-frame motor offers hole-mount installation at any angle. It is widely used in appliances, power tools, outdoor equipment, food processing, blowers, pumps, and other compact high-torque applications. The carbon brushes have an average lifespan of 300 hours, and this motor is for AC operation only—do not use with DC power.
