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.
