Customer Reviews for 1.5hp Air Compressor Duty Electric Motor 56 Frame 3450 Rpm 115/230v Single Phase

Replaced a Craftsman 1-1/8 hp band saw motor. Much more powerful. Makes the saw much more useable. Needed to make an adapter plate as this motor is a larger diameter.

Motor arrived yesterday. Installed it. Replaced the original motor that lasted 35 years on my compressor. Had to use a larger cord than the original to the motor as the motor would cycle fqst and slow. I went from a 12/3 cord to a 10/3 to the motor and it seems to be fine now. Checked old cord for issues none found. The current draw for this motor under load is just over 17.5 amps compared to the original 1.6 Hp motor that used to draw 14.6 amps on the same compressor under load. Old unit would work on a 15amp circuit this one blows the breaker after awhile. This one works well on the 20 amp circuit. Wired for 110 service shipped out as 240 volt. Used the compressor last night and all of today to finish a front end rebuild on my truck and to install a new rear end as well. Compressor cycled on and off about 30 times. Always started fast and kept up. I only use this compressor a few times a month so we will see how it lasts. Usually less than 1.0 hours of actual run time per month sometimes even less. When looking for a replacement motor this one was listed for 85.00 dollars. A few hours later, like less than 2hours the price shot up to over a 100.00 dollars when I went to purchase it. Not sure what that was about but would have liked it more at 85 bucks. Will update if she takes a dump.

Have used the motor on my 40 year old compressor for hours and have not had any problems with it. Not bad for 40 years old

Great motor for my air compressor very good instructions on how to wire it for 115v which is what I needed .

I bought this 5 HP Vevor motor (Model CM05256) to replace an old 5 HP motor from a 1992 Sears Craftsman Air Compressor. The old motor had a ballerina mount which is a pivot mount, and I could not find a replacement. I had to fabricate a new bracket and modify it several times before it was aligned properly. I had to cut a larger hole in the guard too because the motor is a little higher up now. But now the compressor works fine and the new motor works perfectly in this application. The new motor is larger and weighs 34 lbs and the old motor weighed 28 lbs. I’m optimistic the Vevor motor is more robust than the old motor and will last me another 30 years.

Great replacement

Perfect fit for my air compressor

Easy to install.

Works great on my table saw. Gives enough horse power doesn't stall out went cutting like 2x4's.
