Applications & Compatibility
This motor mounting plate is used when your pump motor mounting surface is damaged, misaligned or causing coupling issues. Replacing with the SPX1600F5 helps restore correct motor alignment and extend the life of your pump drivetrain. Always verify your current motor and pump model to ensure compatibility.
Installation Instructions
- Shut off all power to the pump and lock out the circuit.
- Disconnect the motor wiring and remove the motor from the pump housing.
- Remove the existing mounting plate and clean the motor foot surfaces and coupling area.
- Install the new SPX1600F5 mounting plate, align the motor shaft and coupling, and secure per manufacturer torque specs.
- Reconnect wiring, restore power and observe pump operation for proper flow, minimal vibration and correct alignment.
Troubleshooting
- Excess vibration: Confirm alignment between motor shaft, coupling and impeller—check that mounting plate sits flat and bolts are tightened evenly.
- Pump motor overheating: Ensure the plate aligns the motor correctly and that airflow around the motor is unobstructed.
- Persistent mechanical noise: Inspect the coupling and mount surfaces for wear or misalignment even after plate replacement.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the mounting plate during annual equipment service for cracks, warping or corrosion. Replacing worn mounting plates like the SPX1600F5 can prevent premature pump motor failure and improve system reliability.
