TL-Series Motor Transition Plate

(Catalog Numbers TL-TRPLAT-17-23, TL-TRPLAT-23-34, and TL-TRPLAT-34-42)

This publication provides instructions to attach the TL-Series Transition Plates to TL-Series NEMA motors.

The TL-Series Motor Transition Plate allows a TL-Series NEMA motor to physically replace an N-Series motor. It converts the mounting bolt hole pattern from a TL-Series NEMA pattern to an N-Series NEMA bolt hole pattern. This allows the original mounting holes in the machine to be used to mount the replacement motor.

This document applies to the transition plates, motors, and mounting hardware identified by these catalog numbers:

Installation Instructions

To attach an transition plate to a TL-Series NEMA motor:

ATTENTION

1. Align the mounting holes in the transition plate with those in the

TL-Series NEMA motor.

2. Insert the mounting screws from the proper direction, and then torque

each screw to the appropriate value.

• TL-TRPLAT-17-23 requires two screws through the face of the transition plate and into the front of the motor mount.

• TL-TRPLAT-23-34 and TL-TRPLAT-34-42 require four screws through the back of the motor mount and into the rear of the transition plate.

Energy may be stored in a drive system after power is removed.

Before disconnecting mechanical or electrical connections to a motor, remove power from the drive system and allow the bus capacitance to discharge for the time indicated on the front of the drive.

Failure to observe safety procedures could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
