Have you inspected your motor mount recently to make sure it’s in top condition?
A worn or damaged motor mount can cause internal damage to your motor and may affect your load performance. Need help? We’re here for you! Check out more helpful tips at www.electricalhelper.org and connect with pros who are always on the job.
1. If the mount is attached to concrete, check for any cracks, chips, or erosion around the anchor bolts in the concrete.
2. Look for any play in the mounts, whether it’s between the rubber isolation feet and the plate, or between the hard mount and the plate.
3. Verify the tightness of the mounting bolts. If they’re loose, tighten them until there’s no movement in the mounts.
4. Inspect the motor plate for any signs of warping or cracks, as these could result in unwanted flexing during load or startup.
