Nonstock W326T Motor Slide Base 326T Frame

Product Description

The NONSTOCK W326T is a motor slide base designed to fit 326T frame electric motors. Slide bases allow for axial adjustment of motor position, which is essential for setting belt tension on belt-driven equipment. The base mounts under the motor feet and provides a sliding rail system that lets technicians move the motor forward or backward to achieve proper drive alignment. This type of accessory is typically installed by industrial maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors working on fans, pumps, compressors, and similar belt-driven machinery.

The W326T slide base is suited for applications where a 326T frame motor drives equipment via V-belt or flat belt. Common install scenarios include HVAC air handling units, industrial fans, blowers, and pump systems where periodic belt tension adjustment is required. The 326T NEMA frame designation standardizes the foot mounting pattern, ensuring consistent fitment across motors from multiple manufacturers that conform to this frame size.

Key Features

• Designed for 326T NEMA frame electric motors
• Enables axial motor positioning for belt tension adjustment
• Sliding rail design simplifies drive alignment during installation and maintenance
• Mounts to motor feet using standard NEMA 326T bolt pattern

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and aftermarket slide base for 326T NEMA frame electric motors used in belt-driven industrial and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or mechanical contractor. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the motor before mounting or adjusting the slide base. After positioning the motor to achieve correct belt tension, secure all mounting fasteners and verify alignment before restoring power. Installations should comply with applicable NEC and local mechanical codes.
