International Environmental 70021669 Direct Drive Motor 1/5Hp 115V

The International Environmental 70021669 is a direct drive motor, a type of electric motor that connects directly to the equipment it operates, without the need for belts or pulleys. This specific motor is designed for use in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment. It features a compact design and weighs only 9.41 pounds, making it easy to integrate into various HVAC systems. The motor operates on a standard 115V electrical current with a frequency of 60Hz. It delivers a horsepower rating of 1/5HP, which translates to sufficient power to handle tasks like driving blowers or fans commonly found in HVAC units. With a speed of 1020 RPM (revolutions per minute), the motor efficiently drives airflow within the HVAC system. By directly connecting to the equipment, direct drive motors offer several benefits over traditional belted motors. They are generally more efficient due to reduced energy loss from friction in belts. They are also quieter thanks to the absence of belts and pulleys and require less maintenance since there are fewer parts to wear or tear.
