Product Identity
The Dayton 3M282 is an adjustable steel motor base built for NEMA 215 frame motors. It provides a sliding mounting platform that lets maintenance teams tension belts or align couplings without shimming the motor feet.
Pre-Installation Checks
Verify that the motor carries a NEMA 215 frame designation before ordering. Confirm the mounting surface can accept a base measuring 15 in overall length by 12 1/2 in overall width. Ensure a single adjusting bolt arrangement suits your alignment procedure.
Build & Daily Use
The black painted steel construction resists corrosion in typical industrial environments. A low 1 3/4 in profile keeps the motor centreline close to the mounting plane. One adjusting bolt simplifies belt tensioning but requires the motor to be lifted slightly when making large position changes.

Questions about this item
What is included with the Dayton 3M282 motor base and what must be purchased separately?
The adjustable steel motor base itself is supplied. The motor, mounting bolts and any driven equipment such as a blower wheel or pulley are not included and must be sourced separately.
How do I confirm the Dayton 3M282 is the correct version for my motor?
Match the NEMA frame size stamped on your motor nameplate to 215; this base is built specifically for that frame.
What does the 15 in overall length mean when the base is installed under a motor?
It sets the maximum front-to-back footprint available for aligning the motor shaft with the driven equipment.
