📝 Product Description
Upgrade your compressor system with this robust 2 HP SPL Air Compressor Motor. Engineered for reliability and performance, it supports both 115V and 230V service—drawing 20A on 115V or 10A on 230V at 60 Hz. With a 3450 RPM synchronous speed and a standard 56-frame configuration, this motor fits industry-standard compressor pumps and footprints. Designed for dual-direction operation, it offers clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) rotation for versatile installation. The rugged cast-iron housing, permanently lubricated bearings, and thermal overload protection ensure years of maintenance-free service in shop, industrial, or home workshop environments.


✅ Key Features

  • 2 HP Power Rating
    Delivers ample torque for single-stage or two-stage air compressor pumps, ensuring consistent airflow and pressure for tools and pneumatic applications.

  • Dual Voltage (115/230V) Compatibility
    Versatile design allows easy wiring for 115V (20A) or 230V (10A) operation—ideal for both residential and industrial power supplies.

  • 3450 RPM Synchronous Speed
    High-efficiency, 60 Hz induction motor provides optimal performance and stable output under load, reducing pulsation in compressor pumps.

  • 56 Frame Cast-Iron Housing
    Standard NEMA 56-frame casting ensures compatibility with most compressor pump mounts and kits—simplifies retrofits or OEM installations.

  • CW/CCW Reversible Rotation
    User-selectable direction through terminal wiring; supports applications requiring either clockwise or counterclockwise motor rotation.

  • Thermal Overload Protection
    Built-in thermostat monitor prevents overheating by tripping power off under excessive temperature, safeguarding motor longevity.

  • Permanently Lubricated Bearings
    Sealed ball bearings require no maintenance and provide smooth, low-friction operation—minimizes downtime and replacement costs.

  • Open Drip-Proof (ODP) Design
    Ventilated enclosure allows airflow for cooling while providing protection against light drips and debris in typical workshop environments.

  • Standard NEMA C-Face Mounting
    Integrated C-face hub accommodates quick mounting of compressor flywheels or direct coupling to pump shafts without additional brackets.

  • Thermally Efficient Windings
    Class B insulation and 60/75°C temperature rise rating deliver reliable performance under continuous duty cycles.
