Dixie Narco 501/600 Double Column Black Disk Motor – Refurbished Vending Motor Replacement
Introduction: Restoring Vending Precision
Your vending machines rely on strong, consistent motors to deliver cans or bottles accurately. When the motor fails, the machine stops earning. The Dixie Narco 501/600 Double Column Black Disk Motor (Used / Refurbished) brings back that vital motion — with a design tailored for the 501, 600, and related models.
Refurbished by professionals at Vending World, this motor offers cost-effective replacement without compromising reliability. If your machine is showing signs of mis-vends, stalling, or reduced torque, this motor can revive its performance — bringing smoother operation and longer machine life.
What Makes the Dixie Narco Double Column Black Disk Motor Stand Out
Model-specific Compatibility
This motor is specially designed for Dixie Narco 501 and 600 series double-column soda machines. It fits models like 501, 600, 522, and related equipment.
Black Disk Cam Design
The black disk cam is a distinctive feature that enables precise alignment, rotation, and diagnostic visibility during servicing.
Double Column Power
Because the motor drives two-product deep rows, it must deliver stronger torque and better alignment than single-column motors.
Refurbished and Tested
Although used, every motor is tested and restored to guarantee performance, including switch function and mechanical alignment. The Vending World listing calls it a “rare vend motor” and includes switch.
Early Frame Style
This is the “early frame” style motor — suitable for older units of 501, 522, and 600 models.
Core Strengths of This Motor
High Durability Under Load
Built to run through hundreds of vend cycles daily, this motor’s mechanical and electrical components are engineered to resist wear, heat, and vibration.
Precision Cam Disk Control
The black disk ensures that each rotation aligns exactly, delivering consistent vending accuracy and minimal misfires.
Direct Replacement Fit
Because it's made for 501/600 models, installation is smoother. The physical and mounting dimensions match standard fixtures in those machines.
Powerful Torque for Deep Rows
In double-column configurations, this motor must push the product from the rear position reliably. Its design ensures enough force for consistent performance.
Cost-effective Reuse
Refurbished motors allow operators to restore machine function without paying full OEM prices. It’s an economical way to maintain route performance.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned. We no longer sell new for the following reason: According to a recent survey of vending operators about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts do not make enough revenue to warrant the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts. Typical cost on new 'commercial grade' machines run as much as: Can drink $3400-$4800, Snack $3600-$4500, Cold food $7200-$8500, as you can see quite high compared to used or refurbished. Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing, not including sales tax or shipping in some cases. Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge. This can hurt you financially if you are not careful. All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months. There are two main problems with the small mechanical machines. One problem is the machine does not make change or take dollar bills. The second problem is that the machine will 'work you to death'. Most of these machines hold under 100 products and can only gross $40 to $50 at a time, if the entire machine empties out. This is only the gross, the profit is less than 1/2 of that amount. A full size commercial machine on the other hand usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250 to $500. Remember you spend the most time driving to the location so you might as well fill 500 products as soon as 50.
