Durable
fractional horsepower motors are available in sizes ranging from 1/20th
to five horsepower and include split-phase, permanent split capacitor,
capacitor start, and polyphase models. We offer fractional horsepower
motors for a wide range of residential and commercial applications:
Heating And Cooling Equipment
Universal lectricä Blowers: A.O. Smith shaded pole, permanent split
capacitor and split phase induction motors are used in residential and
commercial furnace blowers. Our 5 and 51/2 inch diameter motors are
designed for direct-drive and belt-driven applications and come in a
wide variety of mounting configurations.
Furnace and air conditioner fans: When quality, dependability, and
innovative features count, count on A.O. Smith fan motors. 42-frame and
48-frame permanent split capacitor motors come in a variety of
enclosures and mounting configurations. They are designed to stand up to
the challenges of weather, humidity, and corrosive chemicals. Universal
Electric motors offer quality, functionality, and economy in blower and
draft inducer applications.
Replacement motors: A.O. Smith distributes a full line of quality
A.O. Smith and Universal Electric replacement motors for HVAC
applications. All replacement motors are designed to meet the original
manufacturers' specifications for size and performance. Look in the
Yellow Pages for heating and cooling contractors and electric motor
supply houses that carry these fine products.
Pools, Spas, And Jetted Tubs
A. O. Smith serves the pool and spa industry with a comprehensive
line of switch and "switchless" electric motors that are designed to
stand up to the weather, dirt, and pool chemicals. A. O. Smith's
Conservationist motor combines our two-compartment design and a proven
switch that provides years of reliable service. The Centurion line of
two-pole 56 frame switchless pool motors bring dependability and economy
to pool, spa, and jetted tub pumping applications. Our switchless design
eliminated the majority of moving parts found in these motors, enhancing
reliability. Neptune leisure water motors offer a unique 48 frame two
compartment design with a tamper-proof switch and governor. Commander
pool and spa motors meet European IEC standards. These quality motors
are designed to the same specifications as the motors found in your
equipment.
Pumps
Domestic water systems. 48 frame, two-compartment jet pump motors run
quietly and reliably in above-ground jet pumps. The end-mounted switch
offers ease of access and added conveience in these applications.
Extensive testing helps determine that our jet pump motors can stand up
to the constant starting and stopping and intermittent running times.
Sump, sewage and sprinkling pumps. A. O. Smith motors do the work in
applications ranging from upright cellar drainers, immersible sump
pumps, effluent and sewage pumps.
Specialty pump motors. A. O. Smith and MagneTek offer spark-proof and
explosion-proof pump motors for gasoline pumps and related applications.
Other Applications
Residential and commercial ventilation. A. O. Smith offers a
comprehensive line of fractional horsepower motors that provide the
mechanical power to drive exhaust ventilators, attic exhaust fans,
evaporative coolers, circulating fans, and industrial blowers.
Ventilation motors range in size from 1/20th to 3 horsepower.
General purpose fractional horsepower motors. 42 and 48 frame
reversible rotation motors designed for residential or commercial garage
door and gate openers. Capacitator-start 48-frame and 56-frame rigid
base motors for industrial farm applications. 56-frame open drip-proof
motors for air compressors. We also make a wide variety of specialty
motors, including totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) and explosion-proof
models.
