About this product
This BFO electric motor is designed for air compressors, offering selectable horsepower options of 0.5HP, 1HP, or 2HP. It's a single-phase AC induction motor, operating at 230V with a base RPM of 3450 and a 60 Hz frequency. The motor features a 56 frame, a 5/8 inch keyed shaft, and an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure. It has a non-reversible, counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation and an Insulation Class F.
Our take
As a replacement or upgrade motor for an air compressor, this BFO unit seems quite versatile with its selectable 0.5HP/1HP/2HP rating. The 230V single-phase operation and 3450 RPM are standard for many larger residential or light commercial compressors. The 56 frame and 5/8" keyed shaft are common, making it likely compatible with various pump setups. The ODP enclosure means it's best suited for cleaner, drier environments, as it's not fully sealed against dust or moisture. While the non-reversible CCW rotation is specified, ensure it matches your existing compressor pump's requirement. It's a motor only, so you're buying a component to fix or build.
