Anyone recognize this electric motor?

Does anyone know what this motor would be/was used for?

I don't remember ever seeing one with such a long housing?

At first I thought maybe it was an integral gearbox, but the more I look at it , it doesn't look that way.

Just curious.

The Dayton permanent magnet DC motors that I have on my machines look similar. Mine all have 56c and foot mounts though.

looks like a DC motor but not permanent magnet... but it had plugs not sure what is inside that box if it had a diode set or not...

The 170v DC 1HP Dayton motor is about that long... can't be sure until you actually look at the item that is for sale... at least not from that picture...

It does have an AC plug on it.

Looks a whole lot like a PM DC motor to me. I see at least one removable cover on the side for brush access and I'd be willing to her there's another on the opposite side. I'm guessing you have a 90V DC motor with a 56 NEMA frame and approximately 1hp.

Thanks guys.

I messaged the owner, but havent heard anything back.

Definitely a DC motor. Can see the brush holders. No idea what is going on with the cordset and switch though.

Dc motor because no start capacitor and reversible. Heres a link to a motor thats similar but c faced. Motor rebuilder would have a better idea.

Pretty cool, thanks again.

Anyone know what the handle and hinge setup is from?

No idea on what that handle or bracket might be for. I do know you can run a 90VDC motor off 115VAC with the inclusion of a bridge rectifier and it'll spin about 28% faster than the data plate stated speed. Some motors, depending how well they're balanced, tolerate this better than others.

It could be a "universal" motor. I dont know much about them. They are AC motors but they have a commutator and brushes. A lot of drills have them. I guess because you can vary the speed with a rheostat or whatever without varying the incoming frequency.

Universal motors are by definition AC/DC or "universal" in what source they can accept.

I have a 1964 Century motor that is mounted with a door hinge to use the weight of the motor to keep tension on a belt which drives a bench grinder setup. The handle is to make it easily portable.
