We offer a number of generic/universal bracketing accessories designed to facilitate ZENA^™ mobile welding system power generator installations as well as installations of ZENA^™ power generators in marine, automotive, and DC Genset applications.

These bracketing accessories range from:

• adapters which can facilitate replacement of standard alternators with ZENA power generators, to
• low cost, key bracketing components which are a bit harder to fabricate on site (such as the A300, A330A, A400A, A215, and A220 brackets shown below) designed to facilitate and/or assist in piggyback installations (the most popular method of installing our generators in trucks) -- where the balance of the components are locally fabricated to reduce do-it-yourself installation costs, to
• split bushing cast iron double and single V balanced engine drive pulleys AND our exclusive serpentine/flat belt drive pulleys -- which can facilitate driving of ZENA power generators from small gasoline and/or diesel engines, to
• bolt-together universal bracketing kits that can make fitting a ZENA power generator to a vehicle a matter of simply assembling a group of parts to fit the vehicle's engine, to
• Complete, fully engineered, deluxe custom bolt-in bracket sets. These custom bracket sets are available, as special order items, for most full size Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge trucks as well as larger Ford and Chevrolet vans. These deluxe bolt-in alternator mounting kits are also available for many models of Freightliner (including some of their vans), International, Peterbilt, Isuzu, Sterling, and Mitsubishi trucks. (Call or e-Mail for more information, and/or to receive a quote on a custom bolt-in bracketing kit for your truck.)

NOTE:
Variations on our custom bracket kits which provide bolt-in mounting of belt driven underhood hydraulic pumps (typically clutch pumps) are also available for the same models of trucks as our custom alternator bracketing kits / generator bracketing kits. Call for more information.

While not a bracketing item, one of our most popular installation accessories, by far -- particularly for vehicle installations, are our low cost automatic engine speed control kits. The vacuum powered model ASC1 shown below provides one example, an electrically powered model (our model ASC3) is also available.

Below you will find illustrations of most of our generic/universal components as well as our bolt together universal bracket kit. For more on our custom bracket kits CLICK HERE.

AIRT101 Spring Loaded Belt Tensioner

Fully compatible with the UB2 bracketing kit as well as all other ZENA bracketing components, the AIRT101 is an inexpensive fully adjustable bi-directional spring loaded belt tensioning device designed to be used with flat or V-type idler pulleys (order separately -- call) in a V-belt drive system to maintain a constant belt tension (10-30 lb.).

The use of such a device can GREATLY improve belt performance and belt life-- frequently eliminating the need for dual drive belts in high power generating systems.

Idler Pulley

Idler pulleys can be used to improve belt drive performance in a number of ways. For example, when belt wrap around a pulley is insufficient to provide proper drive an idler can be employed to direct the belt path so as to improve the percentage of pulley covered by the belt. Idlers can also be used to reduce belt vibration by supporting a segment of belt which is prone to vibration/oscillation

A key point to remember when sizing/selecting an idler is that the idler pulley diameter should be 130% the size of the smallest pulley in a belt system

ASC1 Automatic Engine Speed / High Idle Control Kit

This is our most popular accessory for vehicle installations. While not necessary for proper equipment operation, an automatic engine speed control will save fuel and reduce engine noise when welding for extended periods. The model ASC1 is controlled electronically by the ZENA system. It automatically increases your engine speed to your preset welding speed when you activate welder power then reduces your vehicle engine speed to your normal idle speed whenever you are not actually welding. NOTE: This accessory can also be used in a "stand-alone" configuration as a low cost high idle control for emergency vehicles and service vehicles of all types which have a vehicle vacuum source available. The ASC1 uses engine vacuum for its actuator operation. However, for engines / applications in which a suitable vacuum source is not available order our model ASC3. This model uses an electrically activated actuator.
