September 16, 2026-AutomationDirect has added IronHorse AC motor bases which are designed to simplify installation, improve belt tensioning, and support reliable motor operation. Made in the USA, these motor bases provide convenient mounting and adjustment of AC motors with an expanded selection that includes fixed bases for a wide range of NEMA or IEC frame sizes, pivot-style bases that simplify mounting above or below belted loads, and automatic bases that continuously compensate for belt stretch, centrifugal belt expansion, and changing load conditions. This broad offering provides more options to match the specific requirements of conveyors, fans, pumps, compressors, and other belt-driven equipment.
