Overview

The motor mount is the angle stock with two 1/4" holes for 23 size stepper motor, two slots and three holes compatible with the perforated angle (1" apart).

NEMA23 has 1/16" thick circular extrusion around the shaft which prevents from mounting it flush with the mount. Because of that, a pair of 1/16" thick washers (1/4) are used in between the motor and the mount. Alternatively, plastic spacers can be used, helping reduce vibration.

Materials

  • Aluminium angle, 1"x1", 1/8" thick
