The picture is of a motor Lantern adapter prior to machining and painting. This particular part was manufactured for one of several gear reduction drive manufacturers that we sub-contract to. The construction is of all A36 structural quality steel welded to AWS D1.1 specifications. All part items were flame cut, sawed and welded to our customer's drawings. Next the part will be machined in house or taken to one of our quality machine shop vendors.
The pictured lantern, also called a motor adaptor, adapts an electric motor to a
gear reducer. Typically this combination is used to power slow speed, high
torque applications such as conveyors. This type of part can also be used to
adapt an electric motor to a compressor or fluid pump.
In-house machining can be an advantage for manufacturers who wish to have direct
control over the final part process but do not want to stock the material and
equipment involved with fabrication of those parts. As an option,
some of our customers elect to purchase fabrications directly from us and
machine them at their facility. As you can see in the picture our
fabrications are completely cleaned and are slag, splatter and burr free.
