Bard 8104-012 Motor

The Bard 8104-012 Motor is a direct-drive, 1/4 HP PSC blower motor engineered for specific high-static applications in Bard wall-mount HVAC units. Operating at 208-230V, single-phase, this 800 RPM motor features a 3-speed configuration, allowing for precise airflow adjustment to meet system static pressure requirements. With a 48-frame diameter and high-grade internal windings, it is built to withstand the rigorous duty cycles typical of school classrooms, modular offices, and telecommunications shelters. This OEM replacement motor ensures the air handler maintains the necessary CFM across the evaporator coil, preventing liquid slugging and thermal overload scenarios. When performing a Bard HVAC motor replacement, technicians should verify the run capacitor (typically 5MFD/370V) and lead wire connections to ensure proper rotation and torque. This multi-speed direct drive motor offers a reliable mechanical fit, reducing labor time during field service calls and restoring original equipment performance specifications.

• OEM Compatibility: Exact drop-in replacement for the Bard 8104-012, ensuring proper shaft alignment and bracket fitment.
• 3-Speed Versatility: Multiple taps provide flexibility for balancing airflow in various Bard wall-mount unit configurations.
• Optimized RPM: Controlled 800 RPM motor speed reduces noise levels and vibration while maintaining thermal efficiency.
• Industrial Build: Rated for continuous air-over duty with high-temperature insulation to prevent premature winding failure.

What Bard units are compatible with the 8104-012 motor?
This motor is commonly found in WA, WH, and WL series wall-mount air conditioners and heat pumps. Always check the parts list for your specific model digits.

Does this motor include the run capacitor?
No, the 8104-012 motor requires an external run capacitor. It is standard practice to replace the capacitor during motor installation to prevent startup torque issues.

Can I use this 800 RPM motor to replace a different speed rating?
No. To maintain your system's design airflow and prevent coil icing, you should only replace an existing motor with one matching the original RPM and torque profile.
