Abstract
A mounting structure for mounting a device to an electric motor having an output shaft has a body including an opening for receiving the output shaft through the body. A plurality of connector elements are supported by the body. The mounting structure includes a plurality of threaded inserts. Each of these inserts is inserted in one of the connector elements for receiving a fastener to connect the body to the motor. Each connector element is sized and shaped for alternatively receiving an insert in at least two, non-coincident locations. The mounting structure can be combined with an electric motor to produce an electric motor assembly that can be mounted on a pump or other device so the device is powered by the motor.
