These Heavy-duty gauge steel mounting bases simplify
the installation of motors and make the tensioning, maintenance and
replacement of belts a simple efficient task. Fabricated from sheet or
steel plate, then primed and finished in a gray rust and corrosion
resistant oven-baked finish. Gussets and reinforcing channels on larger
units and continuous seam welding on all units give these bases
strength and durability for a long life. Motor mounting bolts are
included.
Specifications: Transition Bases
Transition bases compensate for the difference in
mounting dimensions and shaft height of a rigid base NEMA T Frame to the
next higher NEMA U Frame. This makes it possible, for example, to
replace a 10 HP NEMA 254 U Frame motor with a 10 HP NEMA 215T Frame
motor without modifying the basic installation. They are designed for
horizontal mounting – shimming may be needed for direct-coupled loads.
