Abstract:
A motor test mount apparatus comprising: a mount cylinder having bearing assemblies fitted therein at opposing ends thereof, the mount cylinder positioned for being supported at a fixed height above a supporting surface with a rotational axis of the mount cylinder parallel to said supporting surface; a bearing rod positioned within the bearing assemblies and enabled for rotation therein; a mount block axially engaged with the bearing rod at one end thereof in a threaded relationship adapted for drawing the mount block toward the mount cylinder; a capping disk axially engaged with the bearing rod at an opposing end thereof in a sliding relationship adapted for drawing the capping disk toward the mount cylinder upon rotation of a capping screw threaded into the opposing end of the bearing rod; a motor mounting plate engaged with the mount block, the motor mounting plate adapted for selective positioning in a mounting plane orthogonal to the rotational axis of the mount cylinder; a plurality of mounting arms adjustably positionable on the motor mounting plate, each of the mounting arms providing a mounting tube adapted for receiving mounting screws for engagement with a motor such that the motor may be held fixedly to the mounting arms and whereby the center of gravity of the motor may be positioned on the rotational axis by adjustment of the mounting plate position in the mounting plane.
