Bard HVAC S8106-070 Motor

The Bard HVAC S8106-070 Motor is a high-performance direct drive blower motor engineered for precision airflow in vertical wall-mount units. This OEM replacement motor is the authorized successor to the legacy 8106-016, offering a seamless drop-in fit for technicians servicing Bard HVAC systems. This PSC (Permanent Split Capacitor) motor operates at 208-230V, 1-Phase, and delivers a robust 3/4 HP output at a synchronous speed of 1075 RPM. Designed to maintain the static pressure requirements of demanding commercial and industrial environments, the S8106-070 ensures consistent CFM delivery and thermal stability. Its CW (Clockwise) rotation and heavy-duty internal bearings are built to withstand high-cycle applications, reducing mechanical fatigue and preventing common field failures such as overheating or start-up lag. For contractors performing HVAC motor replacement, verifying the capacitor rating and frame size against the original data plate is recommended to ensure optimal efficiency and factory-standard performance across the Bard wall-mount unit lifecycle.

Key Benefits

• Direct OEM Interchange: Specifically designed to replace the obsolete 8106-016 without mounting modifications.
• High-Torque Performance: The 3/4 HP motor provides the necessary power to drive blowers in high-static air handling configurations.
• Optimized Speed: Fixed 1075 RPM operation ensures calibrated airflow, maintaining the system's SEER and EER ratings.
• Voltage Versatility: Dual-rated for 208-230V single-phase power, matching standard electrical infrastructure in commercial buildings.

Common Questions

Is the S8106-070 a direct fit for the older 8106-016 motor?
Yes, this is the official replacement part. It maintains the same physical dimensions and electrical requirements, allowing for a straightforward transition during service calls.

What rotation does this motor have?
The S8106-070 features CW (Clockwise) rotation. Always verify the lead end or shaft end rotation of the existing blower wheel before installation.

Does this motor include the run capacitor?
Standard OEM replacement motors typically do not include a new capacitor. It is standard best practice to install a new capacitor that matches the microfarad (MFD) rating specified on the new motor's nameplate.
