What does it mean exactly when a motor has frame specified as K56? It is a regular foot mount motor, though I am not sure if it has a special shaft (because presently it is mounted on a machine and the shaft is inside a VS pulley).
I thought to swap it for a 3 phase motor with a drive, to make it go slower when necessary. It is on a drill press.
Don't trust this, because it's from memory, but a couple of firing synapses remind me that "K" series motors are cap-start/cap-run. And 56 should refer to the size.
There ought to be a size/type chart somewhere on the Web that describes it.

"model number beginning with K (i.e., K48 or K56) and will have a run capacitor mounted on the exterior of the motor"
