Questions about this item
Does the Dayton 3M281 base come with all hardware needed to bolt a NEMA 213 motor to it?
Yes, the box includes four motor mounting bolts and one adjusting bolt so the motor can be secured and aligned without extra fasteners.
What does the 15 in length figure tell me about which NEMA 213 frames will fit?
The 15 in dimension is the overall base length; it determines the maximum motor footprint and the range of bolt-hole spacing that can be accommodated on this frame size.
Once installed, what does the adjusting bolt actually do for motor alignment?
The single adjusting bolt lets you shift the motor horizontally along the base to tension belts or align couplings, then lock it in place with the four mounting bolts.
