Sole Plates

Mounting details

Sole plates should be mounted such that the direction of the force imposed by the shaft, pulley and belt tension should fall within the limits of the angle 'A' indicated on the adjacent sketch.

This angle is equivalent to the angle subtended at the centre of the shaft by the intersection of the centre lines of the holding down bolt holes and the underside of the plummer block base.

Ideally, the direction of the force should be vertically downwards through the centre of the shaft when related to the sketch above.

Plummer block mountings must be arranged accordingly.
