Oriental Motor 2RK6GK-A2, Reversible Motor, 6W 100V 50/60 Hz, 400398

The Oriental Motor 2RK6GK-A2 is a compact reversible AC induction motor delivering 6W of output power at 100V AC and 50/60 Hz (part number 400398). Designed for applications requiring bidirectional rotation, this motor fits into tight spaces and provides reliable performance in industrial automation, packaging, and material handling systems.

Overview

This reversible motor solves the need for simple forward and reverse motion without external reversing contactors or complex controls. Engineers and maintenance professionals use the 2RK6GK-A2 in conveyor systems, gate actuators, damper drives, and small indexing tables. Its compact footprint allows installation where large frame motors cannot fit, and its 6W rating matches low torque applications that demand precise directional control.

Key Features

• Reversible Operation: Rotor direction changes by swapping two power supply leads, enabling quick direction reversal for automation tasks.
• 6W Output Power: Suitable for low‑load applications such as small conveyors, valve actuators, and positioning slides.
• 100V AC Compatible: Directly connects to standard 100V single‑phase industrial lines without a transformer.
• 50/60 Hz Dual Frequency: Operates at either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, allowing use in regions with different mains frequencies.
• Compact and Durable: The enclosure protects against dust and light moisture, and the motor’s small size simplifies integration into OEM machinery.

FAQ

• What is the difference between this reversible motor and a standard induction motor?
  Standard induction motors rotate in one direction only. The 2RK6GK-A2 changes direction by reversing the phase sequence of the power supply, allowing forward and reverse motion without external switches.
• Can the motor be used at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz?
  Yes, the motor is rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz operation. Speed and torque vary slightly between frequencies; refer to the product specification for exact values.
• Does the motor include a capacitor?
  The motor is designed to start and run using an internal capacitor. This capacitor is integral to the reversible operation and is included with the unit.
• What is the expected service life?
  With proper installation and within rated environmental conditions, the motor provides many thousands of operating hours. Regular inspection and cleaning of the motor exterior prolongs service life.
