About this product
This is a single-phase, 230V electric motor designed specifically for air compressor duty, boasting 6.4 HP and a speed of 3450 RPM.

Weighing 55 lbs, it is presented as a durable and easy-to-install component.
Our take
If you're looking to replace or upgrade a motor on an air compressor, this 6.4 HP, 230V single-phase unit is a solid contender. The 3450 RPM and 7/8-inch keyed shaft suggest it's built for demanding applications, which aligns with its 'Air Compressor Duty Motor' designation. The ODP enclosure type means it's best suited for dry, relatively clean environments, as it's not fully sealed against moisture or dust. It's a standard NEMA Design B induction motor, which is a good all-around choice for general purpose use. Just make sure your electrical setup can handle the 230V and 24.9 amp draw.
