Description
Condition: FAIR

This is a robust Baldor Industrial Motor, model K53039, built for durability and reliability in a variety of applications. It's a versatile motor suitable for industrial use, DIY projects, or as a source of spare parts for repairs.

 

Key Features:

 

  • Power: 1/2 HP (Horsepower)

  • Speed: 1725 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), providing a good balance of torque and speed for many tasks.

  • Voltage: Dual-voltage operation at both 230V and 460V, making it adaptable to different power sources. It's currently wired for high voltage (460V), but the wiring diagram on the motor's label shows how to configure it for low voltage (230V).

  • Amperage: 1.8A at 230V, and 0.9A at 460V.

  • Frame: 56C frame, a common size that makes it compatible with a wide range of mounting brackets and equipment.

  • Phase: Single phase.

  • Enclosure: ODP (Open Drip-Proof), suitable for use in clean, dry environments.

 

Potential Uses:

 

This motor is perfect for a variety of uses, including:

  • DIY & Hobbyist Projects: Powering machinery like table saws, lathes, grinders, or air compressors. It's a great choice for building or upgrading custom workshop equipment.

  • Industrial & Commercial: Ideal as a replacement motor for fans, pumps, conveyors, or other industrial machinery where a reliable 1/2 HP motor is needed.

  • Spare Parts: The components of this high-quality Baldor motor, such as the windings, shaft, and bearings (6203DE and 6205 ODE), can be salvaged for repairs on other equipment.

This motor is being sold as-is. It is a used item and shows signs of wear consistent with its age, including some chipping on the casing's finish. The attached wiring diagram and motor plate provide all the necessary information for a trained professional to safely and correctly wire it.

Note: For safety, all electrical work should be performed by a qualified individual in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
