HySecurity MX001640, MOTOR ASSY, 1 HP, 1PH, 1725RPM
HySecurity MX001640 is a 1 hp single-phase AC electric motor rated at 1725 RPM for select HySecurity gate operator applications. Current listings identify this part as a 60Hz, 1 phase motor with a 115/208-230VAC voltage rating.
This motor is used where the HySecurity operator parts diagram calls for MX001640. Because electric motors are voltage-, phase-, RPM-, shaft-, and mounting-specific, this part should not be selected by horsepower alone. Confirm the operator model, serial number, original motor label, pump or coupler arrangement, and HySecurity parts diagram before ordering.
What This Electric Motor Does
The electric motor provides the drive power for the operator system, commonly through the motor-to-pump or motor-to-drive connection depending on the HySecurity operator configuration. In an AC hydraulic gate operator, the motor must match the correct voltage, phase, horsepower, RPM, shaft arrangement, mounting pattern, and coupling hardware so the hydraulic system can operate at the intended speed and load capacity.
A weak, failed, or incorrect motor can cause the operator to stall, hum, trip protection, run slowly, overheat, fail to start, or make abnormal noise. Similar symptoms can also be caused by incorrect incoming voltage, capacitor issues where applicable, bad contactors, wiring problems, motor coupler damage, hydraulic pump drag, pressure problems, low hydraulic fluid, contaminated fluid, or gate binding.
Compatible With
Use HySecurity MX001640 only where the operator parts diagram, original motor label, or HySecurity documentation confirms this part number.
- Select HySecurity AC gate operator applications where MX001640 is listed as the 1 hp, single-phase, 1725 RPM electric motor.
- Repairs where the original motor is marked, listed, or cross-referenced as HySecurity MX001640.
- Applications requiring a 60Hz, 1 hp, 1-phase, 1725 RPM motor with the correct voltage, shaft, coupler, and mounting arrangement.
- Hydraulic operator repairs where the parts diagram confirms MX001640 as the correct motor for the pump or drive assembly.
Important Compatibility Warning
MX001640 is a single-phase AC motor. It should not be substituted with a 3-phase motor, a 24VDC motor, a higher-horsepower motor, a different RPM motor, or a motor with a different shaft or mounting arrangement unless HySecurity documentation specifically confirms the replacement.
Do not confuse MX001640 with MX001641. MX001641 is commonly listed as a 1 hp, 3-phase, 1725 RPM motor rated 208-230/460VAC. Even though the horsepower and RPM are similar, the phase and voltage requirements are different, so these motors are not interchangeable in the field without the correct operator electrical configuration and parts diagram approval.

Related Parts and Accessories
The correct related parts depend on the operator model, motor-to-pump arrangement, wiring, and the cause of the original motor failure. Inspect the surrounding drive and electrical components before ordering only the motor.
- Motor coupling hardware - verify the correct coupler by operator model and pump shaft arrangement.
- Set screw and coupling hardware - inspect for wear or loosening during motor replacement.
- Loctite and anti-seize - some listings mention single-use packets for reassembly, but verify package contents.
- Capacitor or start components where applicable - diagnose before assuming the motor is failed.
- Contactor or relay components - related electrical switching parts, not the motor.
- Hydraulic pump assembly - separate from the motor and should be inspected for drag or binding.
- Hydraulic fluid, hoses, fittings, and valves - inspect if the motor failed under hydraulic load.
Technician Note
Before replacing MX001640, verify that the motor is actually failed. A single-phase motor complaint can be caused by incorrect voltage, weak incoming power, failed start/run components, bad contactor, loose wiring, damaged coupling, pump drag, hydraulic pressure issues, or gate binding. If the motor failed from overload, the replacement may fail again unless the root cause is corrected.
Compare the original motor label to the replacement specification before ordering. Pay close attention to voltage, phase, RPM, horsepower, shaft/coupler arrangement, mounting style, and wiring. A 1 hp 1725 RPM motor that looks physically similar may still be wrong if the phase, voltage, frame, shaft, or mounting differs.
Before Ordering, Confirm
- The required part number is MX001640.
- The original motor is 1 hp, single-phase, 60Hz, and 1725 RPM.
- The voltage requirement is 115/208-230VAC as specified by the operator and motor label.
- The operator model and serial number match the parts diagram being used.
- The replacement is not being confused with MX001641, the related 3-phase motor.
- The shaft, motor coupling, mounting, and wiring arrangement match the original installation.
- The motor failure was not caused by pump drag, hydraulic overload, gate binding, incorrect voltage, or a failed contactor/capacitor circuit.
- The package contents include what is needed for reassembly, or that coupler-related hardware and supplies are ordered separately if required.
Installation and Service Notes
- Disconnect and secure power before servicing the motor or operator electrical system.
- Do not work on energized AC motor wiring or live operator controls.
- Confirm correct voltage wiring before applying power to the replacement motor.
- Inspect the motor coupling and pump shaft before installing the new motor.
- Use the manufacturer-specified threadlocker or anti-seize procedure where required for coupling reassembly.
- Do not force an incorrect shaft, coupling, or mounting arrangement.
- After service, verify proper motor rotation, smooth gate movement, correct hydraulic performance, and all required safety devices.
Professional Advisory
Motor replacement on a HySecurity gate operator should be performed by a qualified gate technician or qualified electrical professional when the repair involves AC line voltage, motor coupling alignment, hydraulic pump load, heavy gate movement, or safety-critical operator performance. Do not bypass fuses, overloads, controller protections, limit controls, inherent entrapment sensors, photo eyes, gate edges, or other safety devices to test a motor.
Product Questions & Answers
What is HySecurity MX001640?
HySecurity MX001640 is a 1 hp single-phase AC electric motor rated at 1725 RPM for select HySecurity gate operator applications. It should be used only where the parts diagram or original motor label confirms this part number.
What voltage is the MX001640 motor?
Current listings identify MX001640 as a 115/208-230VAC motor. Confirm the required voltage wiring against the original motor label and operator documentation before installation.
Is MX001640 single-phase or three-phase?
MX001640 is a single-phase motor. It should not be confused with MX001641, which is a related 1 hp, 3-phase, 1725 RPM motor.
Is MX001640 the same as MX001641?
No. MX001640 is a 1 hp single-phase motor, while MX001641 is a 1 hp three-phase motor. The horsepower and RPM may be similar, but the phase and voltage requirements are different.
Does this motor include the coupling hardware?
Package contents should be verified before ordering. Some listings mention single-use Loctite and anti-seize packets for coupling reassembly, but the motor coupling and related hardware may be separate unless specifically included.
Can I replace this motor with another 1 hp 1725 RPM motor?
Not without confirming all specifications. Voltage, phase, frame, shaft, mounting, coupler setup, rotation, and operator parts diagram must match before using any replacement motor.
What should be checked before replacing MX001640?
Before replacing the motor, check incoming voltage, wiring, start/run components where applicable, contactor or relay operation, motor coupling, pump load, hydraulic pressure, and gate movement. These issues can mimic a failed motor or damage a new motor.
