About this product
This is a heavy-duty 5 HP electric motor designed for air compressors, operating on a single-phase 208-230V AC current at 60 Hz. It features a 1-1/8 inch keyed shaft and an 184T IEC frame size for robust mounting. The motor has an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure, an F insulation class, and a service factor of 1.15. With a rated speed of 1755 RPM, this reversible motor from OE Quality is engineered for reliable, long-term performance in demanding compressor applications.
Our take
As an electric motor replacement or upgrade for an air compressor, this 5 HP unit from OE Quality looks like a strong contender. The 5 HP rating is substantial for serious compressor work, and the single-phase 208-230V operation is typical for larger workshop setups. I appreciate the heavy-duty construction indicated by the 184T frame and 1-1/8 inch keyed shaft, suggesting good durability. The ODP enclosure provides basic protection, and the F insulation class is a plus for heat resistance. Keep in mind it's an ODP motor, so it's best suited for cleaner, drier environments to avoid moisture or debris issues. The 2-year warranty offers some peace of mind for an investment of this size.
