Lennox 12W68 Blower Motor
The Lennox 12W68 Blower Motor is a high-performance direct drive blower motor engineered for air handler applications, specifically compatible with Lennox CB26UH series units. This 1/3 HP HVAC motor operates on 240V single-phase power and features a two-speed functionality (825 RPM) to provide precise airflow control and system efficiency. Built with a rugged 48Y frame and a 5.7-inch body diameter, this PSC motor (Permanent Split Capacitor) utilizes an open enclosure design for optimal air-over cooling during continuous duty. The motor includes a 1/2-inch diameter by 4-inch length single-side flat shaft and requires a 15 MFD / 370 VAC capacitor for operation. Designed for horizontal mounting using a belly band, the Lennox OEM 12W68 ensures a secure fit and reduced vibration in high-demand residential or commercial environments. Field technicians should verify the CCWLE rotation (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) and amperage draw of 1.7A to ensure an exact match for the existing air handler blower motor assembly.
Key Benefits- System Precision: Dual-speed operation at 825 RPM allows for versatile air distribution tailored to heating and cooling demands.
- Industrial Durability: The heavy-duty 48Y frame and thermally protected class B insulation ensure reliable operation under continuous load.
- Simplified Installation: Features a standard 1/2" x 4" shaft and horizontal belly band mounting for rapid field replacement.
- Quiet Operation: Advanced PSC design minimizes electromagnetic noise and structural vibration within the air handler cabinet.
What is the correct rotation for the 12W68 motor?
This motor is designed with CCWLE (Counter-Clockwise Lead End) rotation. Always verify the rotation of the existing blower wheel before installation to prevent reversed airflow.
Does this motor include the run capacitor?
While some kits may vary, this motor typically requires a 15 MFD at 370 VAC capacitor. It is recommended to replace the capacitor whenever installing a new blower motor to ensure optimal torque and winding protection.
Can this motor replace a single-speed Lennox motor?
The 12W68 is a 2-speed motor. If your control board or wiring harness only supports a single speed, you must ensure the high-speed lead is properly utilized or the wiring is adapted by a qualified technician to meet local codes.
