ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for supporting a motor having cradle engageable rings at opposite ends thereof in the arms of a selected one of a plurality of different size support or cradle bases is disclosed wherein the motor has at least one end shield with an axially extending hub and a resilient mounting ring embracing that hub and movable axially therealong. A support base has a cradle portion for engaging the mounting ring to support the hub and a clamp arrangement for securing the ring to the cradle portion. The opposite motor end may have a similar axially extending hub on the opposite motor end shield embraced by another mounting ring clampable in a second similar cradle portion. To adapt the mounting arrangement to a selected cradle base, a cradle engaging mounting ring is slid axially along the motor hub until the separation between the rings is appropriate for positioning the motor adjacent to the base with the rings in registry with corresponding base cradle portions whereupon the base and rings are engaged and the rings secured, for example by clamping to the respective base cradle portion. Annular adapters may additionally be provided to conform the radius of a ring to the radius of curvature of the particular ring engaging cradle portion. A motor mounting arrangement adaptable to various size cradle bases is thereby provided.
