Abstract: Isolation mountings extend in a common plane and the axis of the overhung or cantilevered load is perpendicular to that plane. The isolation mountings are located in recesses formed in the base plate alone or in both the base plate and mounting plate. Where the recesses are solely located in the base plate, installation may simply be placing a washered or large headed screw serially through the isolator, the base plate and threading the screw into the mounting plate or motor shell which remains separated from the base plate. This will be repeated for each isolator. If recesses are located in both the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell, installation simply requires placing the two bottom isolation mountings into the corresponding recesses in the base plate and mounting plate or motor shell.
