Bard 8106-015 Motor

The Bard 8106-015 is a high-performance direct drive blower motor engineered for precision performance in Bard wall-mount HVAC units. This 1/2 HP motor operates on 208-230V single-phase power, maintaining a consistent 1075 RPM to ensure optimal airflow across the evaporator coil. Designed with a 48-frame diameter and an open air over (OAO) enclosure, this motor utilizes permanent split capacitor (PSC) technology for reliable field operation and efficiency. It features double-sealed ball bearings and high-grade insulation to withstand the high-static pressure environments typical of classroom HVAC systems and telecommunication shelters. As an OEM replacement motor, the 8106-015 ensures seamless mechanical and electrical integration, preventing the performance drops or vibration issues often associated with universal aftermarket alternatives. This motor is essential for maintaining the static pressure balance and CFM requirements of compatible Bard equipment.

• Precision OEM Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for specific Bard wall-mount units, ensuring correct shaft diameter and mounting alignment.
• Enhanced Durability: Equipped with heavy-duty ball bearings and thermal overload protection to extend service life in demanding cycles.
• Stable Operation: Rated for 1075 RPM at 60Hz, providing the exact torque profile needed for centrifugal blower wheels.
• Field Reliability: PSC design offers a simple, robust electrical configuration that reduces the risk of onsite component failure.

What capacitor is required for the Bard 8106-015?
This motor typically requires a 7.5 MFD / 370V run capacitor; always verify the rating on the motor nameplate during installation.

Can this motor be used in 460V applications?
No, this is a 208-230V motor. Applying 460V will result in immediate winding failure and potential safety hazards.

Is the rotation reversible on this unit?
The Bard 8106-015 features a standard CWLE (Clockwise Lead End) rotation, matched to the specific blower housing of compatible Bard units.
