Reliance Electric P56H1338P AC Gear Brake Motor

Reliance Electric P56H1338P is a 1/2 HP AC gear brake motor with a 60:1 reduction and a 56C frame, pairing a compact motor with a geared output and integrated braking for precise hold and quick stopping. This three-phase unit is designed for 60 Hz operation at 230/460 V and uses a four-pole configuration (4P), delivering 1800 rpm at the motor shaft. The gearhead provides the 60:1 ratio, so the output speed is approximately 30 rpm at nominal input, while maintaining torque for light-to-medium loads in automation tasks. The 56C frame footprint supports standard mounting interfaces found in Reliance’s gear-motor family, and the built-in electromagnetic brake enables positive hold when power is removed. Typical applications include conveyors, material-handling lines, packaging equipment, mixers, and other machinery requiring controlled low-speed output and reliable braking in a compact package. As part of the Baldor-Reliance line, this model is designed for durable performance in industrial environments and integrates with common gear-reducer options for scalable torque and speed control.
