Abstract
A vertical pump has a motor support for arranging between a lower pump assembly and an upper motor assembly in relation to a vertical pump axis. The motor support features a base plate for coupling to the lower pump assembly; a mounting plate for coupling to the upper motor assembly; and at least three pairs of truss elements connected between the base plate and the mounting plate and oriented obliquely in relation to the vertical pump axis, each pair having respective truss elements with converging ends coupled to one of the base plate or mounting plate at a substantially common point and with diverging ends coupled to the other of the base plate or mounting plate at different points.
