Bard part number 8101-018BX is a genuine OEM fractional-horsepower motor rated at 1/8 HP for 208/230V applications, commonly used in Bard wall-mount HVAC equipment to drive an air-moving assembly where proper airflow is critical for cooling performance and compressor protection. When a motor starts getting noisy, slow to start, or trips on overload, replacing it with the correct Bard motor helps restore dependable operation and ensures the mounting, shaft, and electrical characteristics match the original design. Confirm your unit model and the required rotation direction and speed from the Bard service literature or your existing motor label before ordering to ensure proper fit and airflow.
Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.
A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.
Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
