Product Identity
The Dayton 2M513 is an adjustable steel motor base designed for NEMA 256 frame blowers. It provides a stable mounting platform for HVAC technicians and maintenance crews who need to secure compatible motors in ventilation systems.
Setup Check
Verify that the motor you intend to mount matches the NEMA 256 frame specification before ordering. Confirm the available installation space can accommodate the base overall length of 17 3/4 in and overall width of 16 7/8 in. Ensure the mounting surface suits the two adjusting bolts provided for alignment.
Build & Daily Use
The black finished steel construction resists corrosion in typical industrial environments. Two adjusting bolts allow precise motor positioning and belt tensioning without specialised tools. A low profile height of 2 in keeps the assembly compact inside ductwork or equipment cabinets.

Questions about this item
Does the 2M513 base include the motor and mounting hardware or must they be purchased separately?
The listing describes only the adjustable steel motor base itself; the compatible 256-frame motor and any mounting bolts or washers are not included and must be sourced separately.
Is the 256 NEMA frame the only size this base fits or are other frame sizes compatible?
The specifications state compatibility with NEMA frame size 256 only; no other frame sizes are mentioned for this model.
What do the 17 3/4 in length and 16 7/8 in width mean for installation space?
Those overall dimensions define the footprint the base will occupy on the mounting surface, so the installer must allow at least that much clear area plus clearance for the two adjusting bolts.
