Custom Motor Mounting

The following motor mounting guidelines are provided when designing a custom motor
mounting surface (replacing the MagneMotion leg and beam system) for the MagneMover
LITE motors. Also use these guidelines when designing a custom motor mount instead of
using the MagneMotion motor mounting system (replacing the MagneMotion motor mounts).
1. Mount the motors to the custom motor mounts (or MagneMotion motor mounts) with
M6 screws. Loosely attach the motor to motor mount hardware and the motor mount
to custom motor mounting surface. Make sure that the motors have a small amount of
movement relative to each other.
2. Make sure that there is consistent spacing between the motors.
3. Make sure that the tops of all motors are coplanar to each other.
4. Install the V-braces on all guide rails using M6 x 12 mm screws and tighten fin-
ger-tight to pull the rails together.
NOTE: For systems that use railless motors, the V-braces are attached to the top of

the motor body. For straight motors, the V-braces are attached to both sides
of the motor. For curve motors, the V-braces are only attached to the outside
of the motor.
