Converter arrangement for modular motor

Abstract

A bracket assembly and method for coupling a motor to a hoist machine comprising an adapter plate for coupling to a motor face and sized to cover the face of the motor and accommodate an existing motor register on the hoist machine, a drum flange member coupled to the hoist machine to reduce vibrations, the drum flange member having a central cavity for receiving the motor shaft, a second flange member having a bushing sized to the motor shaft, and a coupling plate positioned between the first and second flange members, the coupling plate made of a resilient material such as a plastic. Each of the first and second flange members and coupling plates have hole portions radially positioned and in alignment with one another, the drum flange having holes formed therein for accommodating a connecting rod such as a bolt to securely fasten the drum flange to the drum brake of the hoist machine.
