Get the plate right and the assembly is solid, true, and easy to service. Get it wrong and the equipment vibrates, misaligns, or simply doesn't fit.

Thickness is the spec to watch — too thin and the plate flexes under load, defeating the alignment work. Standard thicknesses run 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm. For corrosive environments, stainless and galvanised options are available on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStandard or custom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStock plates suit the common motor and gearbox sizes. For non-standard hole patterns, oversized plates, or unusual thicknesses, we can supply blank or part-finished plates and quote on machining if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSliding motor bases — the underrated option\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running a belt drive (V-belt, Micro-V, or timing belt), a sliding motor base lets you adjust tension without unbolting and shimming. The motor sits on a sub-frame with adjustment screws — a few turns of the screw moves the motor, retensions the belt, and locks back in place. A small spend that pays back every time the belts need attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFinishing — paint, galvanise, or leave raw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost mild-steel mounting plates come raw or with a primer-only finish so the installer can match the rest of the equipment. Painted plates suit indoor workshops; hot-dip galvanised plates suit outdoor and damp environments where a paint film won't last; stainless suits chemical, marine, and food-grade applications. Raw plates need a finish applied before installation — bare steel rusts fast under coolant or condensation, and surface rust under bolt heads loosens fasteners over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDrilling and modification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel mounting plates can be drilled, slotted, or trimmed on standard workshop equipment with the right cutting tools. For thick plates (12mm+), a magnetic-base drill with annular cutters is faster than a standard twist drill. Cut clean, deburr the edges, and protect the cut surfaces if the plate is going into a corrosive environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeed help with a fitment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact our team\u003c\/a\u003e with the motor frame size or gearbox model, the bolt pattern you're working into, and any space constraints — we'll match a plate or quote a custom one.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"klingspor-mounting-plate-for-sm611-flap-wheel-79-x-12mm-box-of-2-14823","title":"Klingspor Mounting Plate for SM611 Flap Wheel 79 x 12mm Box of 2 - 14823","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:680px;width:100%;padding:12px 0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;align-items:flex-start;justify-content:space-between;border-top:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;padding:16px 0;margin-bottom:24px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e◆\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003eKlingspor mounted flap wheel for trade and production use\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e●\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003eGerman-engineered Klingspor abrasive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1;padding:0 12px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333;margin-bottom:6px;line-height:1;\"\u003e▲\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:14px;font-weight:500;color:#333;line-height:1.4;\"\u003eSmd 612 series\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eThis Klingspor mounted flap wheel is built for production engineering and trade use.
