Abstract
A weldment for attaching mounting brackets and bases to electric motors includes an internal doubler element that is positioned within a motor shell and attached to the inner wall surface of the motor shell. A mounting bracket or base positioned on the outer wall surface of the motor shell is attached to the internal doubler element by a plug weld. The internal doubler element is positioned to increase the strength of the shell at critical stress areas. In addition to utilizing the internal doubler element, the mounting bracket is positioned to be aligned with and adjacent the lap weld seam of the motor shell.
