Motor mount compensator assembly

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention compensates for forces of thrust on a motor mount and prevents the motor mount from exceeding its flex capabilities.
Accordingly, a compensator assembly for incorporating into a motor mount includes a metal base, a connecting link, a threaded thrust rod, and a pair of flexible members.
The connecting link and thrust rod form a solid link to connect a motor mount to the flexible members held by the base.
The base includes a horizontal section for securing to the base plate of the motor mount and an angular section forming an obtuse angle of preferably 135.
degree.
relative to the horizontal section.
The connecting link includes a bracket section for mounting about a stud of the motor mount and a threaded connector extending from the bracket section.
The threaded thrust rod mates at one end to the threaded connector and projects through an opening in the angular base section.
The pair of flexible members are mounted about the thrust rod and are secured against opposed surfaces of the angular base section.
In a preferred embodiment, the flexible members are rubber grommets.
The compensator assembly of the present invention reduces horizontal forces in thrust applications that would otherwise be detrimental to the motor mount components.
