Motor Mount Configuration

The following motor mount configuration options are available:

• In-line motors

• Left-side motors

•Right-side motors

• Bottom-mount motors (L18 and L12 modules only)

In-line motor configurations provide the highest levels of accuracy and repeatability

because the motor is directly coupled to the ball screw shaft. Side or bottom-mount

configurations use a parallel timing belt drive and therefore are more compact in the axial

direction.

NOTE: The left- and right-hand orientations are observed when facing a

module carriage with the motor end upward. See the following figure.
