Whenever you use drive belts, chains or friction drives you will find a require for re-tensioning. As time passes, vibration and friction can result in slipping or unnecessary wear on your machinery’s electric motors or belts. The simplest way to account for that is to ensure your electric motors can be adjusted to pay for these problems through the use of electric motor slide bases. These enable you to accurately adjust the mounted electrical motor’s lateral placement to the millimeter.
Motor Slide Bottom: This model demonstrates the use of a time conserving technique called a good Component. A GOOD Component enables you to associate or “package together” other necessary parts and features when putting a component within an assembly. The linked parts and features will become automatically placed along with the clever component by selecting a few reference faces. This specific example is utilized to quickly place a motor body with the associated installation holes and hardware.
This model also offers mate reference included which is another way to become better when assembly modeling. It’ll automatically add a number of mates without needing to select multiple mate entities and the type of mate. A Style Table is used to generate four sample configurations that can be very easily modified to include more frame sizes.

Motor slide base manufactured from steel
Steel Motor slide foundation is a simple alternative to the common clamping rails.
The engine is directly attached on the mounted engine slide vase and the belt drive is stretched on the essential degree of the slide base. The installation is less time-eating and the establishing is easier.
The “Mono Plate“ version includes an assembly board which cannot be adjusted to between the motor feet.
With the “Duo Plate“ version, the assembly board is divided and only one side is led with the adjusting screw (tensioning screw). The plates could be moved independently that allows a particular variation with the motor feet distance.
The high quality galvanized surface or the cathodic dip painting (KTL) guarantee longevity with both versions and an easy use even under critical conditions. In addition they are extremely torsion-resistant due to particular workmanship of the steel profiles.
Because of the varied slot design you may reach a specific variability to add on different motors with the „Mono Plate“ version as well.
As the “Mono Plate” version is favored because it is more steady, so long as the exact distance between the motor feet is known.
Another advantage is certainly that the slide bases are easy to handle and light in weight.
Possible applications for these products include pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, spring loaded or vibration isolating mechanisms and much more.

pdblowers PN 54140 (modified 54140.P)

Modified base designed for enhanced strength and durability
After using adjustable engine bases for several years on hundreds of blower packages, pdblowers is rolling out several upgrades that make the motor bases a lot more durable and simple to use. Starting with the standard 445T motor base, our fabrication group makes the following modifications: Motor slide base
Welded Corners – The created corners of the bare slide bases are welded collectively to add durability and power to the entire base
Pressing Bolts – In two opposing corners, nuts are welded to the bottom body and fitted with 6″ zinc-plated steel bolts. These pressing bolts are accustomed to help placement the motor and adjust the alignment without needing to put push on the adjusting screws that may otherwise easily become stripped.
Durable Paint Finish – Following the modifications are produced, the bottom receives a primer coat of Sherwin-Williams KEM KROMIK, a rust inhibiting, corrosion resistant phenolic alkyd resin primer, accompanied by a finish coat of Sherwin-Williams SHER-KEM® high gloss metal finishing enamel.
These modified bases are kept in stock for use on all pdblowers blower packages and can be purchased individually.
Universal motor slide bases can be used to mount NEMA regular electric motors. Fabricated from metal and coated with primer for durable, lasting reliability, these engine slide bases simplify the adjustment, alignment, and positioning of electric motors. Ideal for fine electric motor positioning, tightening of belts, and alignment applications.

Product Features
Bases are provided with washers
Bases are painted with an oven-baked primer for better get in touch with of customer’s paint
All “D” bolts (engine mounting bolts) are welded into position to prevent spinning and “dropping” from slots
All “D” bolts are set to the exact foot pattern of the engine to assist in easier motor installation
Exact drop-in replacement for all major make slide bases

The main purpose of a slide base is to permit the customer to adapt the motor’s position to insure proper tension on their belting apparatus.
Motor slide base
Construction/Installation:
The slide base is a one piece steel mounting apparatus (with floor mounting holes and adjustable motor mounting bolts). When installing, the base ought to be securely anchored as close to its operating position as possible. The engine should then be positioned on the slide base and the belting system configured. Position the electric motor therefore the proper tension comes to the belts and tighten the electric motor in place.

Availability:
Slide bases can be supplied for horizontal frames 140T through 449T, and so are specific to each body. Frames 140T – 365T possess one adjustable screw and 404T – 449T possess two adjustable screws.

Field Installed Adjustable Electric motor Slide Base Large gauge steel installation bases simplify installing 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 complete.
bottom is meant to match a size 56 framework (56C, 56, 56J) and is supplied with washers and an oven-baked primer that is ready for customers paint. All “D” bolts (electric motor installation bolts) are welded into placement to prevent spinning and “dropping” from slot machines, plus all “D” bolts are set to the specific foot design of the engine for easier set up. This motor base is a direct drop in alternative to various other brands of slide bases.
