Century Motors 97 Motor

The Century 97 OEM Replacement Motor is a rugged shaded pole 115V motor designed for high-static HVAC, ventilating, and welding applications. Engineered for dual-speed operation (1050 RPM), this 1/12 HP to 1/25 HP motor provides versatile airflow control across a range of direct drive blower systems. Featuring a 4 5/16 inch diameter (4.4" frame) and a 3/8" diameter x 2-3/4" length shaft, this unit is a drop-in HVAC replacement motor for contractors requiring a CWSE rotation configuration. The rolled steel construction and Open Air Over (OAO) enclosure ensure optimal heat dissipation, while the automatic thermal overload protector prevents winding failure during demanding duty cycles. With sleeve bearings for quiet performance and a pre-wired 13" lead with a molded plug, this Century 97 motor streamlines installation in tight mechanical spaces where reliability and single-phase motor efficiency are non-negotiable.

Key Benefits for the Contractor
  • Flexible Output: Operates as a 2-speed unit, ranging from 1/12 HP down to 1/25 HP to match original OEM specifications.
  • Direct Compatibility: Standard 3/8" shaft and 4.4" diameter frame fit a wide variety of blowers and ventilation housings.
  • Built-in Safety: Automatic reset thermal overload protection prevents motor burnout in high-heat environments.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Self-aligning sleeve bearings are specifically chosen for smooth, quiet operation in air-moving applications.
  • Quick Commissioning: Includes a 13-inch lead with a molded plug, significantly reducing field wiring time.
Common Questions & Technical Insights

Can the rotation direction of the Century 97 be reversed?
No, this motor is specifically manufactured with a Clockwise Shaft End (CWSE) rotation and is non-reversible. Verify the rotation of your existing blower wheel before installation.

What are the wiring requirements for the 2-speed configuration?
The motor features a 2-speed design with a common line and two speed taps. Ensure your controller or selector switch is compatible with a 115V single-phase electrical supply and rated for at least 4.0 Amps.

Is this motor suitable for totally enclosed applications?
This is an Open Air Over (OAO) motor. It requires the airflow from the fan or blower it is driving to pass over the motor housing for proper cooling and should not be used in airtight or unventilated enclosures.
