Boltless attachment motor mount
This motor mount is for the LifeTrac Quick Connect Wheels Challenge. The mount requires no bolts to attach the mount to the frame. E/W and Up/Down movement is restrained by sidewall and clamp system which spans the two N-S frames and is locked in place by 4 cottered clevis pins. N-S movement is restrained by means of 6 guide pins which mate to holes drilled, 3 in each, of the N-S frame rails. As the frame is lifted into place the sides of the mount hook over the frame rails and the clamp is lowered pulling the mount tight to the frame.
The bolt circles are to be adjusted depending on the bolt layout of the motor and the axle bearings.
Wide frame allows the mount to stradle the cylinder mounting frame as it is currently designed.

Clever regarding not using any bolts at all. That is more that we are asking for. I question how the two levers would guarantee a tight clamp without the assembly chattering from looseness. What are your thoughts on this?
5 months agoThe design does require a fairly high degree of accuracy in construction of both the LifeTrac frame and the mount. As I designed it the upper clamp has a spiraled/elliptical edge that as it is drawn down along the inner rail creates tension between the frame and mount. Tolerance therefore should err on the side of being too tight. Everything should kind of snap into place as the clamps complete closurer.
