Construction: Housed in a pear-shaped frame with a 2-hole mount spaced at 1.88 inches, facilitating easy installation. Shaft Dimensions: Equipped with a 1/8-inch diameter shaft, 3/4-inch in length, featuring a 1/16-inch hole at the midpoint for secure attachments. Weight: Weighs approximately 4.2 ounces, contributing to its compact and lightweight design. Applications The A.W. Haydon F42105 Synchronous Motor is well-suited for a variety of applications, including: Timing displays Sign animation Experimental setups requiring precise rotational control Installation and Wiring For optimal performance, a 0.1µF capacitor rated at 250V is required and typically included with the motor. The wiring configuration is as follows: Connect the 0.1µF capacitor between the Red and Green wires. Join the two White wires together. Apply 115VAC power to the Red and White wire connection to initiate operation. To reverse the motor’s direction, adjust the power connection by moving the hot (AC) power wire to a different terminal. For instance, if AC power is initially connected to the Red wire with the Whites tied together, shifting the AC power from the Red to the Green wire will reverse the rotation direction. This motor’s design and specifications make it a reliable choice for applications requiring consistent and precise rotational movement.
