The TE-5005-4 motor cushion is an essential vibration-dampening component for the TE-5005 brush type aluminum blower motor assembly used in Tisch Environmental's high volume air samplers. This precision-engineered cushion sits between the motor and housing assembly to reduce operational vibration and extend motor life.
Key Function
The motor cushion absorbs vibration generated during blower motor operation, preventing transmission of mechanical stress to the motor housing and sampler structure. This vibration isolation is critical for maintaining stable airflow rates and ensuring accurate particulate collection in EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring applications.
Compatibility
The TE-5005-4 motor cushion is specifically designed for use in:
- TE-5005 110-volt brush style blower motor assemblies
- TE-5005X 220-volt brush style blower motor assemblies
- High volume air samplers for total suspended particulate (TSP) monitoring
- Mass Flow Controlled (MFC) systems requiring precise flow control
Important: This cushion is not compatible with brushless motor assemblies. For brushless motor systems, use the TE-5005-4S silicone motor cushion specifically designed for those applications.
Installation and Maintenance
The motor cushion should be inspected during routine motor maintenance intervals, typically every 500 hours of operation. Always disconnect power before servicing the blower motor assembly. The cushion is accessible after removing the motor flange and requires no special tools for replacement.
Replace the motor cushion if cracking, hardening, or compression set is observed, as these conditions can reduce vibration isolation effectiveness and potentially allow motor movement within the housing.
