Mounting Recommendations

Flange mounting holes are drilled through with a diameter of 0.1.50" (3.81mm) to take standard 6X32 (M3 Metric)
screws. The length of the screw used will be determined by the mounting flange width. See Mechanical Specifications for
mounting hole pattern.

DC Power Recommendations

The power requirements for the MForce MicroDrive are:
Output Voltage .....................................................................................................+12 to +48 VDC
Current (max. per unit) ....................................................................................................... 2 Amps
(Actual power supply current requirement will depend upon voltage and load)

Layout and Interface Guidelines

Logic level cables must not run parallel to power cables. Power cables will introduce noise into the logic level cables and
make your system unreliable.
Logic level cables must be shielded to reduce the chance of EMI induced noise. The shield needs to be grounded at the signal
source to earth. The other end of the shield must not be tied to anything, but allowed to float. This allows the shield to act as
a drain.
Power supply leads to the MForce MicroDrive need to be twisted. If more than one driver is to be connected to the same
power supply, run separate power and ground leads from the supply to each driver.
