ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a coupling arrangement for coupling a motor to a hoist machine. The coupling arrangement comprises a first drum flange comprising an outer body having a first end and a second end, and an inner wall surface defining a cavity of substantially circular cross section. The cavity has a given diameter along a first length of the body, and of reducing diameter along a second length of the body. The flange is adapted to receive at the first end a tapered bushing of increasing diameter and dimensioned such that, upon insertion of the bushing within the body a given length, the bushing frictionally engages with the inner wall surface of reducing diameter for retention therein. The bushing has a central cavity for receiving the shaft of the motor and capable of securing onto the shaft. The first end of the drum mount flange has holes for direct coupling to a portion of a brake drum within an interior portion of the hoist machine, and the motor face includes holes for coupling to an outer portion of the hoist machine. Pins having bushings thereon may couple the drum mount flange to the hoist machine.
