Baldor Motor ga16 Industrial Grinder Pedestal Cast Iron

Product Description

The BALDOR MOTOR ga16 is a cast iron industrial pedestal designed to support bench-mounted grinding, buffing, and belt grinding equipment in demanding shop environments. Built for stability and durability, it accommodates a wheel height range of 6 to 10 inches, making it adaptable across a variety of machine configurations. The cast iron construction provides the mass and rigidity needed to dampen vibration during continuous-duty operation. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians working in fabrication, production, or mechanical service environments rely on this type of pedestal to keep grinders properly positioned and secure.

The ga16 pedestal is suited for use with carbide and diamond wheel grinders, as well as buffers ranging from 1/4 horsepower through 1-1/2 horsepower, and belt grinders. It is intended for industrial settings where floor-mounted equipment stability is a requirement rather than an option. Typical installations include machine shops, HVAC fabrication facilities, electrical shops, and maintenance departments that run abrasive or finishing equipment on a regular basis.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction for vibration dampening and long-term stability
• Adjustable height range of 6 to 10 inches to fit multiple machine sizes
• Compatible with carbide and diamond wheel grinders
• Supports buffers from 1/4 HP through 1-1/2 HP
• Suitable for belt grinder applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with carbide and diamond wheel grinders, 1/4 horsepower through 1-1/2 horsepower buffers, and belt grinders requiring a floor-mounted pedestal support in the 6 to 10 inch height range.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified maintenance technician or industrial equipment installer. Before mounting any grinder or buffer to the pedestal, ensure the machine is fully de-energized and locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. The pedestal should be anchored securely to a level concrete or solid floor surface using appropriate hardware to prevent movement during operation. Verify that the mounted machine's baseplate dimensions are compatible with the pedestal mounting pattern before completing installation.
