Century Motors 257 Motor
The Century Motors 257 Motor is a high-reliability unit bearing motor engineered for continuous-duty performance in commercial refrigeration and HVACR systems. Operating at 230Vac single phase, this 35-watt shaded pole motor delivers a consistent 1500 RPM for critical airflow applications. Designed with the veteran contractor in mind, the 257 features a totally enclosed air over (TEAO) cast iron housing that protects internal components from ambient moisture and debris in rigorous environments. The 1/4" threaded shaft (20 thread) and CCW lead end rotation ensure compatibility with standard fan blades and blower wheels across multiple OEM configurations.
This HVAC replacement motor is frequently used as a direct or functional substitute for various A.O. Smith, Emerson, and Fasco models, making it a versatile addition to any service truck. With a low 0.7 Amp draw and 40°C ambient temperature rating, it maintains thermal efficiency during peak operation cycles. The rear/double foot mounting and tapped holes on the opposite shaft end provide flexible installation options for refrigeration fan motor swaps or new system builds.
Key Benefits:- Durable Cast Iron Construction: Built for longevity in light commercial and industrial evaporative cooling or refrigeration units.
- Interchangeable Design: Functional cross-reference for leading brands including A.O. Smith, GE, and Packard.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The unit bearing system with Class A insulation is designed for years of trouble-free continuous duty.
- Secure Installation: Features a standard 1/4" threaded shaft for precise fan blade alignment.
- TEAO Enclosure: Totally enclosed design facilitates cooling via the moved air stream while keeping contaminants out of the motor windings.
- What is the direction of rotation? This motor is 1-speed with a CCW rotation when viewed from the lead end (CCWLE).
- Can this be used for residential applications? While common in commercial refrigeration, its 230V rating and shaded pole design make it suitable for any matching electrical specification in residential HVACR gear.
- Is mounting hardware included? The motor features rear/double foot mounting bosses and standard tapped holes, allowing it to fit most existing brackets.
