Adjustable Motor Base

This motor base simplify's mounting and belt tension adjustment at installation and during later maintenance checks. This is a heavy duty adjustable motor base manufactured of steel or plate. Detergent washed, painted with a dark gray primer and oven baked for corrosion resistance. The nuts and bolts are zinc plated. Motor mounting bolts are included.

A fixed-position adjustable base lets the motor be pushed or pulled into position, so the belt can be installed and adjusted. After the belt is pulled over the pulley and before the mounting bolts are tightened, one or more adjusting screws force the motor away from the driven pulley until the desired tension is reached. The single adjustable base has a central screw for tension positioning. As you turn the screw you move the motor (and its pulley's center) toward or away from the driven pulley's center. Because of this style's simplicity and economy, it offers a cost-effective solution for many applications.
