Product Features & Fitment

Durable TEAO Construction: The Totally Enclosed Air Over (TEAO) housing protects internal components from dirt, dust, chaff, and moisture, making this motor ideal for harsh agricultural and outdoor HVAC environments. Designed to operate within the airstream of the driven fan, the motor relies on airflow for continuous cooling.

Reliable & Safe Operation: Equipped with built-in automatic thermal overload protection (AUTO), the motor will safely shut down if operating temperatures exceed safe limits. Combined with a resilient extended base (RBE) to minimize vibration, a 0.500" flat shaft, and Class B insulation, this motor ensures quiet, stable, and long-lasting performance for direct-drive farm fans.
