Overview
The SEW Eurodrive DT80K6BNHR is a 0.5 horsepower AC motor designed for general purpose industrial applications. Configured for dual-voltage operation (230/460V), this motor delivers reliable performance at 1100 RPM in a compact aluminum frame 80 TEFC enclosure. The DT80K6BNHR is well-suited for retrofit, repair, and replacement applications across manufacturing, HVAC, conveyor systems, and process equipment.
Key Features
- 0.5 HP rated power output
- 230/460V dual voltage three-phase operation
- 1100 RPM motor speed
- NEMA frame 80 aluminum housing with TEFC (totally enclosed fan-cooled) enclosure
- Compact, modular design for drop-in replacement installations
- Standard industrial cooling for continuous duty operation
Technical Specifications
The motor meets standard industrial motor performance and thermal characteristics. Rated current at 230V is 2.3A and at 460V is 1.15A. The TEFC enclosure provides protection against dust and moisture ingress in industrial environments. Motor frame material is aluminum for lightweight construction while maintaining mechanical strength. Mounting is via NEMA C-face or foot-mount configurations depending on the specific suffix code (BNHR).
Typical Applications
- Pump and compressor drive systems
- Material handling and conveyor systems
- Industrial fan and blower applications
- Machine tool auxiliary equipment
- HVAC and ventilation systems
- General industrial motor replacement and retrofit
