Mounting the STM23R
You can mount your motor+drive using four #6 or #8 screws. If possible, the motor+drive should be securely
fastened to a smooth, flat metal surface that will help conduct heat away from the motor. If this is not possible,
then forced airflow from a fan may be required to prevent the STM23R from overheating. See page 24 for
more details about heating.
• Never use your motor+drive in a space where there is no air flow or where other devices cause
the surrounding air to be more than 40°C.
• Never put the STM23R where it can get wet or where metal or other electrically conductive par-
ticles can get on the circuitry.
• Always provide air flow around the drive. When mounting multiple STM23R’s near each other,
maintain at least one half inch of space between them.
