GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MOUNTING VARIABLE SPEED AC OR DC MOTORS
SCOOP MOUNT ACCESSORY
1. This is a soft mounting of the motor.
2. The benefits obtained by using this accessory are low
cost and isolation of the reducer support structure
from the motor vibration.
3. This motor mount was designed for use with a
constant speed motor at 1750 RPM. Use of motors
with lower base speeds increases the chance of
producing resonance.Stiffening techniques within the
scoop structure can increase the fundamental natural
frequency about 20% which is generally enough to
eliminate resonance should it occur.
4. This accessory is NOT recommended for variable
speed DC or AC applications.
5. Customers who prefer to use the scoop mount
accessory to mount variable speed AC or DC motors
must state on the face of the purchase order that they
plan to support scoop and assume full responsibility
for any vibratory or transient load induced by the
motor. For recommended scoop support, contact
Reliance Electric and reference drawing #A31512.

TOP MOUNT ACCESSORY
1. This may be a soft or hard mounting of the motor
depending on the size of the motor and the distance
that the adjusting screws are extended.

2. The benefits obtained by using this accessory are low
cost, minimum floor space used for the motor/reducer
assembly, and greater flexibility to obtain the required
output RPM of the reducer than concentric coupling.
3. This motor mount was designed for use with a
constant speed motor at 1750 RPM.
4. This accessory is NOT recommended for variable
speed DC or AC applications. Consult Reliance.
NOTE: For more information on DODGE MAXUM
Concentric Reducer Motor Mounts, refer to
pages G3-51 throughG3-52.
HD BASEPLATE ACCESSORY
1. This is a hard mounting of the motor.
2. The benefits obtained by using this accessory are:
a. resonance problems are minimized
b. accurate assembly of motor/coupling/reducer
can be done at the factory instead of the job site.
Note: Alignment must always be rechecked at
job site prior to start-up.
c. large motors can be rigidly mounted to keep
deflection under control and provide longer
service life.
3. This accessory is recommended for large motors
where the motor weight exceeds the reducer weight or
700 lbs., and for variable speed DC or AC applications
regardless of the motor weight. For mounting
dimensions see page G3-39.
