About this product
This EMZ 5 HP Air Compressor Electric Motor operates on a single-phase 230V current at 60 Hz, delivering 3450 RPM. It features a 7/8-inch keyed shaft and a 56HZ frame. Designed for compressor duty, this motor has an ODP (Open Drip-Proof) enclosure and draws 23 full load amps. It is a non-reversible, base-mounted unit, providing robust power for air compressor applications.
Our take
For anyone needing a powerful replacement or upgrade for an air compressor, this 5 HP EMZ motor is a serious contender. The 230V single-phase operation and 3450 RPM are exactly what you'd expect for compressor duty, ensuring fast tank recovery. The 7/8-inch shaft is a good, substantial size, and the 56HZ frame is a common fit. The ODP enclosure is adequate for most dry workshop environments, but remember it's not fully sealed against liquids. Being non-reversible is typical for compressors and not a drawback here. Overall, a powerful option, but users should note the Prop 65 warning regarding chemical exposure.
