The bell housing (pump-motor mount) directly connects an SAE flange hydraulic pump to a NEMA C-face electric motor, ensuring precise shaft alignment and securely enclosing the coupling. Its design eliminates the need for brackets, additional bases, leveling shims, and coupling guards. Each mount is precision machined (to Magnaloy standards) to ensure concentricity within .003” from the motor pilot to the pump pilot.
Verify your NEMA motor's frame size, your pump's SAE flange, and the shaft lengths to confirm compatibility with this part.
