2.3 Preparing the mounting surface
LINEARdrive can be mounted onto wood, plastic or metal. If you need to pre-drill mounting
holes into the mounting surface or heat sink:
1. Remove the LINEARdrive’s cover as shown in 2.2 “Removing the cover”.
2. Place the LINEARdrive onto the mounting surface in the desired position.
3. Indicate the position of the mounting holes on the surface by drawing them through
the LINEARdrive’s M4 mounting holes with a pencil.
Figure 2.2: LINEARdrive’s mounting holes
4. Take away the LINEARdrive and pre-drill the screw holes in the mounting surface.
2.4 Fastening the driver/controller to the surface
To fasten the driver/controller to the mounting surface:
1. The driver/controller has four mounting holes suited for M4 screws. Make sure you
have four screws that are appropriate for the surface that you want to mount the driver/
controller onto. Use mounting screws with a minimum length of 15mm.
2. Place the driver/controller in the desired location, matching the LINEARdrive’s mount-
ing holes with the predrilled screw holes on the mounting surface.
3. With a screwdriver, fasten the driver/controller to the surface.
The LINEARdrive’s mechanical dimensions are listed in appendix A “Specifi-
cations”.
The LINEARdrive must be mounted according to the requirements of local
legislation.
