Dayton 3M368 Motor Mount Adapter 324U 326U to 284T 286T 16 in
Converts NEMA 324U and 326U motor frames to 284T and 286T with a 16 in adapter that maintains shaft alignment
- Converts NEMA 324U/326U motors to 284T/286T frames
- 16 inch length spans mounting differences without shaft alteration
- Gray primer finish resists corrosion in harsh environments
- Pre-welded nuts and zinc-plated bolts simplify installation
- One inch height and three inch width maintain compact footprint
Frame Conversion
The Dayton 3M368 adapter converts NEMA U-frame motors 324U and 326U to fit NEMA T-frame footprints 284T and 286T. It compensates for differing mounting-hole locations and shaft heights without altering the motor axial centreline or shaft extension. This suits maintenance teams standardising replacement motors across mixed frame inventories.
Construction and Finish
The steel bracket measures 16 inches in length, 3 inches in width and 1 inch in height. A corrosion-resistant grey primer coating protects the surface in damp plant environments. Nuts are welded to the base and zinc-plated bolts are supplied, reducing loose hardware during installation.
Installation Hardware
Pre-welded nuts eliminate the need to hold fasteners while tightening bolts, speeding up alignment on the motor feet. Zinc-plated bolts resist galling and corrosion during repeated removal for motor servicing. No additional shims or spacing components are required for the listed frame conversions.

Questions about this item
How do I bolt the 3M368 adapter between a 324U frame motor and a 284T frame base, and which step is most often missed?
Align the adapter so its welded nuts match the 284T base holes and its slotted holes match the 324U motor feet, then tighten the zinc-plated bolts; the step most often missed is verifying the 16 in length keeps the motor axial centreline unchanged.
What maintenance or replacement will the 3M368 adapter need after installation?
The gray primer finish resists corrosion, so only periodic visual checks of the welded nuts and zinc-plated bolts for loosening or rust are required; no scheduled replacement is needed.
What is the first limit that appears when the 3M368 adapter runs continuously under load?
The 1 in height and 3 in width fix the shaft-height offset, so the first limit under sustained use is the mechanical strength of the welded-nut joints and bolt clamping force.
