Motor revs = motor-side revolutions before gear ratio
Load units = load-side distance in rotary or linear movement

Overview
The drawing below is an overview of the main items related to position feedback
scaling, depending on the location of the feedback device. The device can be
located on
• (A) the motor shaft,
• (B) the load shaft behind a gear, or
• (C) the load side behind the mechanical transmission.
