Bard 8200-031 Motor Mount

The Bard 8200-031 is a heavy-duty dual inlet motor mount engineered specifically for Bard wall-mount HVAC units and heat pumps. Designed for direct-drive blower assemblies, this HVAC blower motor bracket provides the necessary structural rigidity to maintain precise motor alignment, reducing vibration and mechanical wear on the assembly. When replacing a Bard 8200-031 motor mount, ensure the torsion arms are seated correctly within the blower housing to prevent housing resonance or airflow restrictions. This component is critical for field service repairs where original mounts have succumbed to metal fatigue or corrosive environments. Its robust construction ensures it handles the high startup torque common in PSC and ECM motors used in commercial Bard units. Contractors should verify the physical dimensions and bolt patterns against the existing blower fan housing to ensure a seamless drop-in fit for direct drive motor replacement projects.

• Vibration Dampening: Secures the motor firmly to the housing, minimizing harmonic noise and mechanical stress.
• Direct Compatibility: Precision-fit for Bard blower assemblies, eliminating the need for field modifications.
• Optimized Airflow: The low-profile design of the dual-inlet bracket reduces obstruction within the blower wheel path.
• Structural Integrity: Constructed from high-grade steel to resist warping under high-load operating conditions.

Is the 8200-031 compatible with both PSC and ECM motors?
Yes, as long as the motor frame size matches the mounting diameter and the blower housing is a dual-inlet Bard configuration.

What are the symptoms of a failing motor mount?
Increased noise (rattling or humming), excessive vibration at the cabinet, and uneven wear on the blower wheel or motor shaft are primary indicators.

Are mounting bolts included with this bracket?
This part typically includes the primary bracket assembly; always retain your existing blower housing hardware for the final installation.
