Dayton Automatic Motor Base NEMA 182/184
This Dayton automatic motor base fits NEMA frame sizes 182 and 184. It provides a black steel mounting platform with a single adjusting bolt for belt tension. The unit measures 14 1/8 in length and 11 3/4 in width. It suits maintenance teams and OEMs replacing or installing compatible motors in HVAC blower assemblies.
Installers needing NEMA 182/184 fit.
This base is built only for NEMA 182 and 184 frames. Installers working with different frame sizes cannot use it. Applications requiring multiple adjusting bolts or a different mounting pattern should select another model. Buyers needing a larger or smaller footprint must choose a different base.
Single adjusting bolt for belt tension
The base uses one adjusting bolt to set and hold belt tension on the mounted motor. This single-bolt mechanism is the key specification that determines compatibility with the drive design. Verify that the motor and drive arrangement works with one tensioning point before purchase.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the automatic motor base is correctly tensioned after installation?
After setup the base should move freely when the motor runs and hold the belt at the proper tension without manual adjustment.
What components are included with the Dayton 6YTR5 and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the automatic motor base only; the motor, pulleys, belts and mounting hardware are sold separately.
Which NEMA frame size should I select for my motor, 182 or 184?
Choose the frame size that matches the motor nameplate — 182 for NEMA 182 motors and 184 for NEMA 184 motors.
