Common installation methods for medium-sized gear motors
Common installation methods for medium-sized gear motors
Medium-sized geared motors offer versatile mounting options to suit different equipment layouts and
space constraints. Selecting the correct mounting type and position is critical for proper alignment,
bearing life, and operational reliability.
H2: Common Mounting Types
| Mounting Type | Description | Typical Application |
| Foot-mounted (B3) | Motor base with mounting feet, bolted to floor or platform | Conveyors, general industrial drives |
| Flange-mounted (B5/B14) | Connected via flange face to equipment, compact design | Space-limited installations, direct coupling |
| Hollow shaft | Output shaft slides directly onto driven shaft | Space-saving, no coupling required |
| Torque-arm | Housing secured by torque arm, shaft-mounted design | Agitators, mixers, cranes |
| Foot + Flange (B35) | Combines both foot and flange for extra stability | Heavy-duty applications |

When ordering, specify the cable entry position viewed from the output shaft (A-end): R (right), B (bottom), L (left), or T (top). This ensures proper cable routing and clearance in your installation.
