Bard 8101-016 Motor

The Bard 8101-016 blower motor is a direct-drive, single-speed replacement designed for specific HVAC wall-mount units. This 1/10 HP motor operates at 115V and delivers a constant 1050 RPM, ensuring reliable airflow for heat pump and air conditioning applications. Built with a Clockwise (CW) rotation (viewed from the lead end), it features a standard NEMA 42 frame size to ensure accurate bolt-hole alignment and shaft clearance within the blower housing. When troubleshooting OEM heater motor replacements, verifying the 5-mfd/370V run capacitor requirements and amperage draw (typically 1.5 - 1.9 Amps) is critical for preventing thermal overload and winding failure. As a dedicated replacement motor for Bard HVAC systems, this unit high-efficiency performance and exact mechanical fitment, reducing installation time in the field. This 115V 1050 RPM motor is essential for maintaining static pressure and CFM requirements in commercial and residential wall-mount configurations.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered specifically for Bard wall-mount units to ensure proper airflow and heat dissipation.
• Robust Shaft Design: Standard shaft dimensions allow for secure seating of the blower wheel, reducing vibration and bearing wear.
• High Starting Torque: Optimized for cold starts in demanding HVACR motor environments.
• Thermal Protection: Internal protectors prevent motor burnout during restricted airflow conditions or voltage fluctuations.

Is the Bard 8101-016 a PSC or Shaded Pole motor?
This is a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor, which offers higher efficiency and better starting torque than standard shaded pole alternatives.

What is the correct rotation for this unit?
This motor is Clockwise (CW) rotation lead-end. Always verify the fan blade pitch or blower wheel direction before completing the installation.

Which capacitor should be used with this blower motor?
Technicians should install a new 5 MFD 370V capacitor to ensure the 1/10HP motor reaches its rated RPM and operates within its design temperature range.
