The motor flange adapter is responsible for allowing the transfer of motion from a motor or engine to another device.

Types

There are multiples types of motor flange adapters.

NEMA Flanges: NEMA flanges are designed to have standard NEMA dimensions that fit the corresponding motor dimensions.
IEC Flanges: IEC flanges are designed to have standard IEC dimensions that fit the corresponding motor dimensions.
SAE Flanges: SAE flanges are designed to have standard SAE dimensions that fit the corresponding motor dimensions.

Configurations

Motor flange adapters are commonly made of aluminum, cast iron, steel, and stainless steel. Motor flange adapters are generally round, oval, rectangular, or square in shape. The most prominent components of a motor flange adapter are the mounting options that include two-bolt, three-bolt, four-bolt, or six-bolt mounting.
