Baldor experts

Anyone know what these threaded holes are for on this buffer bearing retainer?

not a baldor expert by any stretch. Wild *** Guess, could they be for jacking the plate off ? ( put screws into the holes & jack it off the motor)

Maybe for "Push Bolts" to remove a Pressed In Bearing.

BTW, This is an official part from ABB, not a shop made modification. The holes are lined up with the edge of the bearing hole, so i think the screws would hit the end bell housing. My guess is for some sort of arbor cover, but I have not seen anything listed in the catalog.

Lined up with the edge of the bearing hole? Like they would press the bearing out if you stick a screw in them?

Nothing for reference in the picture, so either those screw holes are big, or that part is pretty small.

I just said that they would hit the bell housing, not push the bearing. Besides, the bearing stops before the stator.

Hold the guard on?

 

[lafester]

I know buffers sometimes have guards, but I have not seen an official Baldor one.

Guards would have been my guess. Are you sure it was born an buffer?

 

[lafester]

The guard acts as the bearing retainer on 3/4+ HP Baldors. These are for buffers, or a grinder with no guard. My other thought is possibly a belt sander attachment on the 3/4 hp.

This is a good guess, but 6 holes seems excessive.

Do they not also have tool-grinding attachments that bold on the end?
