5RK60GU-AWU Oriental Motor 60 W Reversible Motor, Single-Phase 110/115 VAC, Pinion Shaft
The 5RK60GU-AWU from Oriental Motor is a 60 W single-phase reversible motor in a 90 mm square frame, for 110/115 VAC 60 Hz supplies. Reversible motors are designed for applications that change direction frequently, such as conveyors, positioning tables, doors and indexing mechanisms. The pinion shaft version pairs with an Oriental Motor 5GU gearhead (sold separately) to give the output speed and torque the application needs. The “U” suffix means the run capacitor is supplied with the motor.
