The Baldor L1430T is a 5 HP single-phase air compressor duty electric motor built to handle the high starting load and torque that air compressors demand. It can be wired to run in either direction (CW or CCW).

Replacing a compressor motor? Match the frame, shaft, and mounting to your existing motor — and if you change the RPM, resize the pulley or sheave to keep your compressor's CFM. Not sure it will fit your setup? Contact us with your old motor's nameplate and we'll confirm the right replacement before you buy.

Backed by a Baldor (ABB) limited manufacturer's warranty — 18 months from installation or 24 months from date of manufacture, whichever comes first. We package every motor carefully so it arrives ready to install, and we stand behind every sale. Questions about fit or specs? Get in touch.

Great price, great replacement motor

I bought this to replace a motor for my compressor and it fit perfectly-the hardest part was removing the pulley on the old motor. The original motor lasted 20 years and I hope this one lasts as long!

Strong motor, hope it lasts.

This is a 5hp motor. Many motors listed here as 5hp are not 5hp. Check the amp draw, several I checked were less than 2hp. The motor is very strong and works great on my saw mill. The only problem was the motor would screech when turned by hand. The instructions state that it is greased at the factory, that was not the case for mine. A couple of pumps in each zerk and the motor is now fine. Hope the bearings were not ruined. Also, It is packed well for shipping.

Great motor at a great price

Used this motor to rebuild a T30 80 gallon compressor with a bad 7.5hp motor. Changed to a 8” pulley. Works great.The motor itself is great, the price was great, and shipping was fast.Thank you.

The clear data to select rotation of the shaft. Great information.

The unit is of high quality and made in the USA. The unit replaced a motor that was manufactured in 1973 on an Emglo air compressor, hope it can have a life run like my first. lol

strong motor

This seems like a motor that will be the last one I need to buy - heavy duty - grease fittings for the bearings and very smooth and relatively quiet - well worth a few extra bucks and American made to boot.
