Should I use a single or double adjusting motor base?
We recommend a single adjusting motor base for NEMA frame sizes 56-215 and a double adjusting motor base for NEMA frame sizes 254-449. Note that larger frame sizes may also require a heavy duty motor mount, please refer to this chart: http://overlyhautz.com/pdf/HPandRPMChart.pdf
Do you offer replacement hardware kits?
Yes, we have hardware kits for most stock items. Please contact us for a quote.
Do I need a heavy duty motor mounting solution?
It depends on the Horsepower, RPM and application of your motor. We suggest a heavy duty mount for anything running above 150HP at 1800RPM. Heavy duty motor mounts should also be considered for applications that involve shaking or vibration. Please see this chart for more info: http://overlyhautz.com/pdf/HPandRPMChart.pdf
How long does it take to fabricate a custom-built motor base?
We specialize in custom-built motor mounting solutions! Please contact us for a quote. From time of order, production time will depend on the scope of the job, materials used and fabrication requirements. We will always do our absolute best to be efficient, make a high quality product and meet your delivery timeframe.
Do you have metric motor bases?
Metric (IEC) motor bases made with metric hardware are made to order. However, if you do not need metric hardware, many customers can use a standard NEMA motor base with US standard hardware, as most IEC frame sizes cross with NEMA frame sizes. Please contact us with questions or for a quote.

Yes, we frequently make bases to mount gearboxes. This is a custom built item, please contact us for a quote.
