Bard 8105-014BX Motor

The Bard 8105-014BX Motor is a direct-drive condenser fan motor designed for specific Bard wall-mount HVAC units. This OEM replacement motor operates at 230/208V, 1-phase power, providing a reliable 1/3 HP output at a steady 900 RPM. Engineered for outdoor fan applications, it features an open-air-over (OAO) enclosure to ensure efficient heat dissipation during continuous operation. This permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor requires a 5MFD/370V capacitor (sold separately) to maintain proper torque and efficiency. When replacing a failed motor in W series heat pumps or WA series air conditioners, this unit ensures the static pressure and airflow profiles remain within manufacturer specifications. The CCW lead end rotation and standard NEMA frame dimensions facilitate a drop-in installation, reducing labor time in the field. Utilizing OEM Bard service parts like the 8105-014BX ensures the unit maintains its UL certification and performance curves across high-ambient conditions.

• Industrial Build: Rated for high-duty cycles common in telecommunications shelter cooling and school HVAC systems.
• Standardized Specs: Uses 230V single-phase power for straightforward integration with existing contactor wiring.

Common Questions

What capacitor is required for the Bard 8105-014BX?
This motor typically requires a 5 MFD/370V run capacitor. Always check the nameplate of the new motor versus the legacy unit for any rating updates.

Can I use a higher RPM motor as a substitute?
Using a higher RPM motor will increase amperage draw and may lead to fan blade failure or compressor issues. It is critical to stick to the 900 RPM specification for this assembly.

Is the 8105-014BX reversible?
This specific condenser motor is generally set for CCW rotation (Lead End). Check the rotation direction of your existing fan blade before installation.
