This versatile new motor can be converted to a ball screw linear actuator by mounting a miniature ball screw to the front shaft face.

  • Page 40: Motor Wiring

    Motor Wiring As with the power supply wiring, motor wiring should be run separately from logic wiring to minimize noise coupled onto the logic signals. Motor cabling exceeding 1’ in length should be shielded twisted pairs to reduce the transmission of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) which can lead to rough motor operation and poor system performance.
