Motor Support Base B223-2814C

The Motor Support Base (part# B223-2814C) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part that mounts and supports the motor and belt-shaft assembly inside the Tornado Roam 97300 / 97300C cordless commercial upright vacuum. This molded base plate locates the motor over the nozzle, carries the belt shaft that drives the brush roll, and uses an isolator-type design to damp vibration so the motor and fan stay aligned with the airflow path.

Because it is the structural base the motor sits on, a sound Motor Support Base keeps the drive belt tracking straight and the fan centered in its housing. It is part of the nozzle and motor section on the Tornado Roam and is built to the ULW isolator-type specification (part# B223-2814C, a direct replacement for the earlier B223-2814B).
