DAYTON 4VAG8 Motor Capacitor Start 1 Hp 1725 115/208-230v 56

Dayton 4VAG8 motor efficiently transfers power from the motor to driven equipment through a belt, offering precise speed and torque control. Its flexibility in equipment positioning, vibration dampening, and noise reduction make it useful in the manufacturing, automotive and agriculture industries. This belt-drive unit consists of a motor connected to a pulley, which drives a belt that then turns another pulley attached to the equipment being powered.

Features:

• Dayton 4VAG8 motor has a strong Frame 56 construction that ensures durability and stability under continuous duty cycles.
• Its open drip-proof motor enclosure design promotes cooling airflow while protecting against moisture & debris ingress.
• This belt-drive motor features automatic motor thermal protection that avoids overheating.
• It comes with a cradle base mounting type, facilitating easy installation and secure positioning of the motor in various orientations.
• Dayton 4VAG8 motor also includes resilient rings for vibration dampening and noise reduction.

Compatible Accessories:

• Dayton 3M276 Mounting Base: This base allows users to mount motors to belt-drive units.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the advantages of using belt drive motors?

A.

• Smooth operation with reduced vibration and noise.
• Flexibility in positioning equipment due to the ability to use different pulley sizes.
• Shock absorption, which protects the motor and driven equipment from sudden overloads.

Q. How do you calculate the belt tension in a belt drive system?

A. Belt tension in a belt drive system is calculated based on factors such as the torque requirements of the driven equipment, the wrap angle of the belt around the pulleys, and the desired operating conditions (maximum allowable belt tension to prevent slippage).

Q. Can Dayton 4VAG8 motor be used in both horizontal and vertical orientations?

A. This belt drive motor can be used horizontally or vertically, depending on the application requirements. However, factors such as belt tension, pulley alignment and load distribution must be carefully considered to ensure optimal performance and longevity, particularly in vertical applications where gravitational forces may affect belt tension and load distribution.

Q. What are some tips for extending the lifespan of belt drive motors?

A.

• Perform regular inspection and maintenance of belts, pulleys and bearings.
• Ensure proper belt tension and alignment.
• Use high-quality belts and pulleys as per the application.
• Avoid overloading the motor or driven equipment.
• Protect the motor and belt drive system from contaminants, moisture and excessive heat.
