Trane MOT2229 Shaft Motor 3/8 Inch 1/20Hp 115V

The Trane MOT2229 Shaft Motor is a compact and versatile component designed for various applications within residential and light commercial HVAC equipment. Here's a closer look at its features and uses:
Function: This fractional horsepower motor operates on a standard voltage of 115 volts and delivers a power output of 1/20 horsepower. It features a 3/8 inch diameter shaft that spins at a specific speed depending on the application. The motor shaft typically connects to a specific part within the HVAC unit (usually sold separately) like a damper actuator or airflow control valve. When energized, the motor's internal components rotate, turning the motor shaft. This rotation then drives the connected part, resulting in specific actions within the HVAC system.
Applications: Due to its small size and versatility, the Trane MOT2229 Shaft Motor can be found in a variety of HVAC equipment, including furnaces, air handlers, and ventilation units. For example, it might be used to open or close dampers to regulate airflow, or to control the positioning of airflow blades.
