At Leverlink we have been manufacturing Rubber Torsional Spring motor bases for more than 30 years. The partnership between the Leverlink motor base and a mine sites pumps has been a success story second to none, in an industry often operating in the harshest of environments.
The mining industry sees the Leverlink range of motor bases as the gold standard in safety, reducing maintenance costs and increasing plant availability. The single adjusting screw often decreases belt changeout time by at least 50% when compared with jacking bolts. Significant life of pulleys and drive belts is noted.
Typically, the Leverlink motor base in the VL and HA series have a service life between 10 and 15 years. The units can be rebuilt/refurbished at approximately half the cost of a new unit. This would make the total service life between 20 and 30 years, which is unheard of in today’s throwaway market.
