About this product
This BFO electric motor is a 3.7 HP single-phase replacement unit, specifically designed for air compressors and general equipment. It features a 56 frame size with a 5/8" keyed shaft, operating at 3450 RPM on 60HZ AC frequency with 17.2 Full Load Amps. The motor has an Open Drip Proof (ODP) enclosure and an F insulation class, offered as a direct replacement part with a 1-year warranty.
Our take
This BFO electric motor presents a solid option for replacing a worn-out unit on an air compressor or other general equipment. The 3.7 HP rating is suitable for many workshop compressors, and the 56 frame with a 5/8" keyed shaft is a common configuration, making it a good direct replacement. Operating at 3450 RPM, it should provide good power delivery. The Open Drip Proof enclosure is fine for dry indoor use, but users in dusty or damp environments might prefer a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) motor for better protection. It's noted as non-reversible, so ensure it matches your application's rotational needs.
