The Fasco FM55 Belly Band Mounting Bracket secures frame blower motors inside air handler or furnace assemblies. It operates through a strap band that wraps around the motor body and distributes support through flexible legs or torsion arms, keeping the motor suspended and aligned with the blower housing. Installed directly around the motor shell inside the blower compartment, it connects to the cabinet or support frame at fixed and horizontal points. The bracket maintains motor alignment, reduces vibration transfer, and supports rotational positioning during blower operation.
