Description

Leeson P184K17FB16 – 5.0 HP Farm-Duty Electric Motor (1740 RPM, 230V)

Description: Heavy-duty farm-duty single-phase electric motor designed for agricultural, industrial, and continuous-duty mechanical applications. Built for reliable torque output, high starting performance, and durability in dusty or harsh environments such as farm equipment and material handling systems.

The Leeson P184K17FB16 is a 5.0 HP single-phase, 1740 RPM horizontal shaft electric motor designed for farm-duty and general industrial use. It features a NEMA 184T frame and a totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) enclosure, making it suitable for environments exposed to dust, dirt, and moisture.

This motor uses a capacitor start / capacitor run configuration, providing high starting torque and smooth operation under load. It is commonly used in equipment such as grain augers, conveyors, feeders, silo unloaders, compressors, and farm machinery where consistent power delivery is required.

The unit is engineered for continuous operation with a service factor of 1.15, double-sealed bearings, and a heavy-duty rolled steel frame for long-term durability.

Key Features

• 5 HP farm-duty power for heavy mechanical loads
• High starting torque (capacitor start/run design)
• Rugged 184T frame for industrial compatibility
• TEFC enclosure protects against dust and moisture
• Continuous-duty rated for long runtime applications
• Reversible rotation capability

With a rugged TEFC enclosure, capacitor start/run system, and 184T frame, it delivers reliable torque, durability, and continuous-duty performance in harsh operating conditions.

Before ordering the Leeson P184K17FB16 5.0 HP Farm-Duty Electric Motor (1740 RPM, 230V) from Leeson, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Match tool rating (voltage, amperage capacity) to the electrical work actually being performed – residential, commercial, and industrial applications often call for different tool classes.
• Check battery platform compatibility if standardizing on a cordless tool ecosystem across a crew.
• Confirm insulation and safety ratings meet the applicable electrical code and workplace safety requirements for the work being done.
• Review accessory and bit/blade availability for the specific tasks the tool will perform regularly.

Why does battery platform compatibility matter when choosing electrical tools?

Standardizing on one battery platform across multiple tools reduces the total number of batteries and chargers a crew needs to manage, and lets battery cost be shared across tools rather than paying the battery/charger premium on every individual purchase.

For sizing help across the full Electrical Tools category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
