Lovejoy 68514440213 Rigid Fixed Base Motor Base 182T 184T

Product Description

The LOVEJOY 68514440213 is a rigid fixed base motor base designed to securely mount NEMA frame motors in variable-speed and adjustable-center drive applications. Constructed from steel, this base provides a stable, non-adjustable mounting platform for motors requiring a firm, vibration-resistant foundation. It measures 19.5 inches in overall length, 10 inches in width, and 5.188 inches in height, accommodating 182T and 184T NEMA frames. The hand crank design supports positioning during installation and is suited for use with adjustable center variable-speed pulley drives. Mounting hardware uses a 9/16-inch bolt pattern. Licensed HVAC and mechanical technicians, millwrights, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical installers for this type of component.

This motor base is intended for use in applications requiring a rigid, non-sliding motor mount, including HVAC air handling units, blower assemblies, and light industrial drive systems. Its adjustable-center VSP drive application means it is commonly paired with variable-speed sheave arrangements where belt tension is set during installation and the motor position is then fixed. It fits 182T and 184T NEMA frame motors, which are standard frame sizes found across a wide range of single-phase and three-phase motors used in commercial and residential mechanical systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation motor base for 182T and 184T NEMA frame motors used in adjustable-center variable-speed pulley drive systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified millwright, mechanical contractor, or licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the motor and drive system before beginning any mounting or adjustment work in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the mounting surface is flat, level, and structurally adequate to support the combined weight of the base and motor. Verify belt alignment and tension after securing the motor to the base before returning the system to service.
