Accessory & Option Information

Falk motor brackets may be used for Types DH and DB. These motor brackets provide an economical "soft" mounting for standard NEMA T-frame and IEC B3 induction motors. It is expected that the weight, location, and starting torque of the motor will cause cantilevered motor brackets to deflect or twist to varying degrees. They are engineered to be within acceptable deflection limits as determined by Falk. However, because the motor bracket is a "soft" motor support, deflection and vibration magnitudes of the bracket may exceed levels normally considered acceptable for rigidly, "hard" mounted machinery.

Falk motor mounts are selectively pre-designed for Types DH and DB drives. Motor mounts provide a convenient drive support for the motor when the drive is belt driven.

Falk flanged motor adapters are available for Types DH and DB drives. This adapter allows a flange-mounted motor to be directly mounted to the high speed side of the drive.

A bedplate is recommended to insure proper alignment of a base mounted drive with the motor. Falk can provide fabricated steel bedplates for all popular sizes of standard type DH and DB drives. These bedplates accommodate standard NEMA and IEC motors within the power range of the drive and many of the larger non-NEMA motors. Special bedplates can be designed and manufactured for unique motor and special accessory combinations.

Supports for tachometers, brakes, timing devices, foot-mounted fluid couplings, or other accessories can be added. Contact Falk for further details on this accessory.

Falk swing bases have been pre-engineered for over 500 combinations of Drive One, NEMA & IEC motors, and Falk couplings. Finite element analysis has been performed to assure trouble-free operation. Designed specifically for use with the DBT right angle shaft mounted drive, the swing base provides an economical and readily available alternative to bedplates.
