Fasco K161 Motor

Fasco K161 Motor

The Fasco K161 Motor is a high-performance C-frame skeleton motor designed for critical air-movement applications in refrigeration and ventilation. Operating at 115V with a robust 3000 RPM, this 1/50 HP shaded pole motor is a direct OEM replacement for many freezer case evaporators, walk-in coolers, and range hoods. It features a counterclockwise (CCW) rotation, determined by facing the shaft end, and utilizes sleeve bearings for quiet, long-term operation in open air over (OAO) environments. The 0.218" x 1.21" shaft includes a flat for secure impeller mounting, while the 1-inch iron stack and thermally protected design ensure durability under continuous duty cycles. With a standard 2-stud mounting (1-7/8" on center), the Fasco K161 integrates seamlessly into existing brackets, providing a reliable solution for technicians requiring precise HVAC/R replacement motors.

Key Benefits
  • Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered as a versatile C-frame motor replacement for major brands like Aerovox and Mathiesen.
  • Thermal Protection: Internal overload protection prevents winding failure during restricted airflow or high-ambient conditions.
  • Compact Stack Design: Features a 1-inch iron stack for high power density in tight evaporator configurations.
  • Moisture Resistance: Class B insulation allows for reliable performance in high-humidity refrigeration environments.
Common Questions

How do I verify the rotation for my application?
The Fasco K161 is rated for CCW rotation when viewing the motor from the shaft end. Always verify your fan blade pitch to ensure proper airflow orientation.

Can this motor handle continuous operation in a freezer?
Yes, this is a continuous duty rated motor utilizing sleeve bearings specifically designed for the low-temperature, high-duty cycles of refrigeration evaporator units.

What are the mounting hole dimensions?
The motor uses a standard extended stud mount with studs spaced 1-7/8 inches apart on center, compatible with most universal C-frame brackets.
