NOTE
The drawing above shows the forces
over the motor when running
clockwise. For counter clockwise
rotation, forces are reversed (F1, F2,
4.Cmax.)
Steel or iron blocks, plane surfaces blocks with
anchorage devices can be fitted in the concrete
foundation to fix the motor feet, (as suggested in
Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3). It is important that all the
structure equipment is made in such a way that they
can transmit any force or torque which may occur
during the operation.
ATTENTION
WEG wil not be responsible for the
design and foundation of the base.
5.1.3. TYPES OF BASES
5.1.3.1 CONCRETE BASES
Concrete bases are the most commonly used for the
installation of electric motors.
The type and size of the foundation - as well as
other fixing devices for this purpose will depend on
the type and size of the motor.
The motors can be mounted on a concrete base
with four foundation blocks. See dimensions of the
installation components in the following tables.
