  • $179.00


The General Electric 5812 is a robust 16-watt cast iron unit bearing motor engineered for continuous duty in commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems. Operating at 115V with a fixed speed of 1550 RPM, this CCW lead-end rotation motor is a standard replacement for many evaporator and condenser fan applications. Its cast iron construction provides superior heat dissipation and mechanical stability compared to stamped steel alternatives, making it ideal for high-static environments. The unit features 4-pole operation and is designed for reliability in demanding cycles where refrigeration motor maintenance is a priority. Technical specifications indicate standard tapped hole mounting patterns, ensuring compatibility with common brackets and shrouds. Ensuring the correct counter-clockwise rotation and voltage match is critical for maintaining system airflow and preventing compressor overheating in commercial walk-ins and reach-in coolers.

Common Questions for HVACR Technicians

Is the GE 5812 motor reversible?
No, this is a dedicated CCW lead-end rotation motor. For applications requiring clockwise rotation, a different model must be selected to ensure proper airflow direction.

What are the mounting requirements for this 16W cast iron motor?
The motor features standard tapped holes on the casing, facilitating easy installation into existing fan brackets without the need for custom fabrication.

Can this motor be used in outdoor condenser units?
This unit bearing motor is suitable for various refrigeration environments; however, verify the 115V rating and lead protection requirements for your specific installation site.
