Direct Drive Motor Belly Ban, Tri-Mounting Ring

Emerson Belly Band Tri-Mount – Support Ring for Direct Drive HVAC Motors

The Emerson Belly Band Tri-Mounting Ring is designed for secure mechanical support of 5.6" diameter direct drive motors in HVAC applications. It facilitates stable and vibration-resistant mounting in horizontal blower assemblies, rooftop units, and air handler systems.

Constructed for durability and compatibility across standard motor frame sizes, this support ring enables tri-mount installation where multiple securing points are required for structural integrity and balanced load distribution during motor operation.

Installation Requirements

Installation should be performed by licensed HVAC technicians. Proper torque on mounting screws and alignment with blower housing brackets are critical for long-term system performance. This component must be correctly centered to prevent fan imbalance and reduce strain on motor bearings.

Use Case in Field Applications

This mounting ring is commonly installed in systems requiring secure retention of fractional horsepower motors where belt-driven alternatives are not applicable. Contractors favor the Emerson belly band ring for its compatibility, rigidity, and ease of alignment when performing blower motor retrofits or replacements.
