Bard HVAC S8106-046 Motor

The Bard HVAC S8106-046 Motor is a critical OEM replacement blower motor designed for peak performance in wall-mounted heat pump units. Operating at 208-230V and providing a flexible 1/2-3/4 HP output, this 1050 RPM motor ensures consistent static pressure and airflow across 2-speed configurations. This unit is the designated direct replacement for 8106-046 and 8106-030, featuring a double-shaft design and clockwise (CW) rotation required for specific Bard W60 and W70 series equipment. Built with a rolled steel frame and sleeve bearings, it is engineered for continuous duty in demanding residential and light commercial environments. Technicians should note that this permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor requires a 15 MFD capacitor (sold separately) to maintain factory-spec efficiency and prevent premature thermal overload. When troubleshooting restricted airflow or fan failure in Bard package units, the S8106-046 provides the exact physical and electrical footprint needed for a seamless drop-in installation.

• Direct OEM Fit: Drop-in replacement for the obsolete Bard 8106-046 and 8106-030 models.
• High-Torque Performance: 1/2 to 3/4 HP range at 1050 RPM maintains required CFM in Bard wall-mount units.
• Rugged Construction: Durable steel housing and internal thermal protection for reliable operation in extreme temperatures.
• Dual-Speed Versatility: Supports high and low speed taps for precise system balancing and comfort control.
• Double-Shaft Design: 5-3/8 inch shaft lengths on both sides ensure compatibility with original blower wheel assemblies.

Common Questions

What capacitor is required for the S8106-046 motor?
This motor requires a 15 MFD / 370V capacitor. Always replace the capacitor when installing a new motor to ensure proper starting torque and longevity.

Can this motor replace a single-shaft blower motor?
No, this is a double-shaft motor specifically designed for units requiring a shaft on both sides of the motor housing. Verify your original motor configuration before ordering.

Does the S8106-046 support 115V applications?
No, this motor is rated strictly for 208-230V single-phase power. Wiring this to a 115V source will lead to immediate component failure.
