Applications
Magnetek's Century-series AC motors are general-purpose single-phase induction motors used widely in light industrial, commercial, and shop equipment. The R56Y frame and KHM form factor are commonly found driving air compressors, vacuum pumps, blowers, conveyors, and similar belt- or direct-drive machinery. Dual-voltage capability (115V/230V) makes this motor well suited for both standard residential-supply tools and 230V shop circuits. The continuous-duty rating and integrated thermal protection make it appropriate for applications requiring sustained run times. Magnetek's Century motor line dates to mid-twentieth-century American manufacturing and remains a well-recognized brand in the replacement motor market; these motors are still actively sought for repair and replacement of legacy industrial and HVAC equipment.
This Magnetek Century AC Motor (part 8-158964-02) has been inspected and is in good condition. The motor body and housing show light wear consistent with prior industrial use, as visible in the photos. The unit was photographed mounted to a pump/compressor assembly; buyers should confirm with us exactly what is included in the sale.
