Brackets, supports, and mounting hardware secure engine accessories and ancillary components in their correct positions. This includes alternator brackets, filter head mounting brackets, sensor brackets, lifting brackets, engine support mounts, and vibration isolators. These components endure constant vibration and thermal cycling, and a cracked or broken bracket can allow accessories to shift or detach, leading to belt misalignment, sensor damage, or fluid leaks. Vibration isolators (engine mounts) are particularly important in generator and marine installations where they absorb engine vibration to protect the surrounding structure.
AMS Parts supplies a wide range of brackets & mounting components for Cummins engines used in power generation, marine, and industrial applications. Browse a selection of available parts below, or contact us for specific requirements.
Signs include increased vibration transmitted to the generator frame or vessel hull, visible cracking or deterioration of the rubber element, uneven engine alignment, or the engine sitting lower on one side. Failed mounts can cause misalignment with the driven equipment and should be replaced promptly.
Most brackets are specific to the engine model, build configuration, and sometimes the equipment installation. Even within the same engine family, bracket designs can vary based on accessory layout and mounting orientation. Always verify the part number against the engine serial number.
Lifting brackets should be inspected for cracks, corrosion, or deformation before any engine lift. Damaged lifting brackets must be replaced — they are safety-critical components. Never weld or repair a cracked lifting bracket.
