  • Publication number: 20240141925
    Abstract: A motor mount spacer/adapter arrangement includes a wire cage and at least one spacer. The wire cage includes one or more clamps having substantially equal inner dimensions. The at least one spacer/adapter is disposed adjacent the inner dimension of one of the clamps. As such, the one or more clamps is configured to secure an electric motor in the wire cage. In some versions, the electric motor can have a lower body portion of a first dimension and an upper body portion of a second dimension that is different than the first dimension. The at least one spacer/adapter is therefore configured to reside between one of the clamps and one of the upper and lower body portions of the electric motor.
