Vortex Motor Mounts & Adapter Kits

Vortex motor mount kits and NEMA frame adapter kits for VXT-Series shaft mount reducers. The electric motor mount (MMA) bolts to the VXT housing and accepts a NEMA C-face or T-frame motor directly on the reducer, eliminating the need for a separate motor base. Frame adapters convert one NEMA frame size to another so a different size motor can be installed on an existing VXT. Texas Belting and Supply stocks 9 VXT motor mount sizes (2MMA through 10MMA) plus 2 NEMA frame adapter kits for VXT installations.

Applications

Typical applications for Vortex motor mounts & adapters:

• Direct motor mounting on a VXT shaft mount reducer (compact, low-floor-space drive)
• Replacing a separate motor base setup with a unified motor-on-reducer assembly
• Adapting a VXT designed for one NEMA frame to accept a different motor frame
• Upgrading a smaller motor to a larger frame on an existing VXT installation
• OEM machinery building VXT drives with motor pre-installed at the shop

Frequently Asked Questions

What VXT size is the motor mount for?

Match the MMA number to your VXT size: 2MMA for VXT2, 3MMA for VXT3, and so on through 10MMA for VXT10. The motor mount bolts to the VXT input side and accepts a standard NEMA frame motor directly.

What motor frame does the mount accept?

Each MMA accepts a specific set of NEMA frame sizes based on the VXT size class. Smaller VXTs accept 56C through 145TC; larger VXTs accept up to 280TC. The mount comes pre-configured for the VXT's standard motor frame range.

Do you need a frame adapter?

If your existing VXT was sized for one motor frame and you want to install a different frame size motor, a NEMA frame adapter kit (such as X140-56 for adapting a 140TC unit to accept a 56-frame motor) lets you make the change without replacing the VXT or the MMA.

What reducer family is each motor mount or adapter for?

Each accessory in this collection is labeled with the reducer family it fits (X-Series, VXT-Series, VR-Series, or VMRV-Series). Filter by reducer family or browse by accessory type. Each product page also indicates the specific reducer size and configuration the accessory matches.

Does Texas Belting and Supply ship from Houston?

Yes. All Vortex motor mounts & adapters in our active inventory ship from Texas Belting and Supply's Houston, TX warehouse the same business day for orders placed before 3 PM Central time, subject to current inventory. Non-stocked configurations may have a 1-3 business day lead time. Call (888) 203-2358 to confirm current stock for any specific part.

How do I know which size accessory I need?

Match the accessory to your existing reducer. The accessory part number prefix tells you the family (VXT vs X-Series vs VMRV vs VR). The number in the SKU tells you the unit size (2-12 for VXT, 30-110 for VMRV, 133-325 for X-Series). If you cannot identify your reducer's exact specification, call (888) 203-2358 with the existing reducer's nameplate information and we will help you spec the right accessory.
