Bodine Electric Company 48R5BFYP Electric Motor

The Bodine Electric 48R5BFYP is a compact 1/3 HP, 1800 RPM three-phase AC induction motor from Bodine's 48R Series, offered in a 56C frame with base mounting for easy installation in equipment that runs on 230/460 VAC. The 0281 variant provides four leads (lead configuration varies) and is associated with inverter-duty applications, with Bodine listing 48R5BFYP as an inverter-duty motor (catalog variant 2244). At 60 Hz, it delivers about 11.6 lb-in (approximately 185 oz-in) of torque while maintaining the 1800 RPM nominal speed, matching light-to-moderate drive loads in compact machinery. For 50 Hz operation, Bodine specifies a derating to 1/6 HP and prescribes a 40 µF, 250 VAC capacitor (part number 49401147) to ensure proper start/run performance. The motor’s 56C frame and base-mount configuration support straightforward alignment with gearmotors or belts and pulleys, making it suitable for general-purpose industrial drives that require a space-saving, robust motor with 230/460 VAC three-phase input. This model reflects Bodine’s standard catalog offering for 48R-series motors and is compatible with a range of Bodine gearmotor solutions and controls designed for inverter-friendly operation.
