Trane MOT18970 Motor
The Trane MOT18970 Motor is a high-performance OEM replacement blower motor designed for critical air handling applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Operating at 115V with a 1/5 HP output, this 4-speed motor provides the precise airflow modulation required for maintaining static pressure and system efficiency. Built on a 48 frame, it features an open air over (OAO) enclosure for effective thermal management during continuous operation. With a fixed 1080 RPM rating and a single-phase capacitor-run design, this Trane furnace motor ensures direct-drive compatibility with a wide range of blower assemblies. Technicians trust the MOT18970 for its robust Service First construction, featuring a 1/2-inch shaft diameter and 3.5-inch shaft length, effectively replacing legacy part numbers like MOT04715 and MOT11991.
Key Benefit List:- OEM Precision: Direct Trane replacement motor ensures exact fitment and restores original factory airflow specifications.
- Multi-Speed Versatility: The 4-speed tap configuration allows for tailored cfm settings across heating and cooling cycles.
- Enhanced Cooling: The 48 frame OAO design utilizes the system's airstream to prevent overheating during high-demand cycles.
- Broad Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for numerous Trane and American Standard air handlers and furnaces.
- Reliable Performance: Engineered for low vibration and quiet operation in direct-drive blower applications.
What capacitor is required for the MOT18970?
This motor requires a 7.5 MFD @ 370V run capacitor for proper startup and torque; always inspect the capacitor when replacing the motor.
Can this motor replace a 3-speed or 1-speed unit?
Yes, provided the 115V voltage and 1/5 HP ratings match, the additional speed taps offer greater installation flexibility.
What is the rotation direction of this blower motor?
The MOT18970 typically features a CCW lead end rotation, which is standard for most Trane furnace blower configurations.
