Mounting
Motor mounting
CAUTION
• Before mounting the motor remove
the plastic cover from the shaft and rotate it by hand.
The motor shaft must rotate freely.
• The motor is mounted by means of its rigid base,
which must be fixed on a flat surface prepared for
installation according to the dimension table shown on
page 3, using four 5/16" (8 mm) diameter screws or
threaded bolts.
• If mounting on steel plate (A) it is recommended that
the thickness of the steel plate be no less than the bolt
diameter.
• For mounting on concrete or concrete slab (B), a free
bolt thread length of not less than 7/16" (11 mm) is
recommended.
• Use a drop level or laser to validate motor levelness.
If the motor is not level, use calibrated adjustment
blades to shim the motor base and correct any
deviations in flatness between surfaces.

Shaft joint
• The motor shaft includes a 3/16" (0.5 cm) x 1-3/8"
(3.5 cm) key to transmit motion to the coupling.
• Depending on the application, the shaft can be coupled
to the machine in three ways:
1. Gear or sprocket coupling.
2. Coupling by pulleys or flywheel.
3. Coupling by connecting joint.

• In any of the cases, a correct alignment of the couplings
must be ensured to reduce the vibration of the assembly
between the motor and the driven machine and to
extend the life of the bearings and avoid damage to the
motor shaft.
• The use of flexible couplings, capable of absorbing
small alignment deviations inherent to the installation
during operation of the equipment, is recommended.
• In applications of coupling by means of connecting
joints, the motor must be aligned both axially and radially
as shown in the image.
