Frequently Asked Questions
Explore answers to common questions about our custom linear motion systems.
What is the purpose of the 0-Series Motor Mount?
The 0-Series Motor Mount provides a compact, modular solution for coupling stepper or servo motors to a linear axis system. It ensures proper alignment between the motor shaft and the ball screw, helping reduce vibration, improve efficiency, and extend system lifespan. It's ideal for applications where space is limited and performance cannot be compromised.
What motor sizes is the 0-Series compatible with?
The 0-Series is designed for NEMA 23, NEMA 24, and NEMA 34 motor frames, covering a wide range of common stepper and servo motors used in automation. This versatility makes it easy to integrate with many of the systems already on the market.
If you’re unsure about compatibility, our team can confirm fitment for your specific motor model.
Is the 0-Series Motor Mount compatible with both couplings and pulley systems?
Yes. The 0-Series supports both rigid coupling setups and pulley-driven systems. This gives you flexibility depending on your design preferences, whether you're looking for direct-drive or need to isolate loads through a belt.
Can this motor mount be customized for my system?
Absolutely. We offer optional configurations such as rear shaft access, adjustable belt tensioners, and different cover plate options. If your machine or build has unique constraints, the 0-Series can be tailored to meet them.
For more complex setups, we recommend speaking directly with an engineer to confirm your needs.
How easy is the installation process?
The 0-Series is designed for straightforward mounting, with precision-machined alignment and pre-drilled holes. The integrated design helps minimize misalignment during assembly, which means less downtime and fewer errors during setup.
Does the 0-Series come with a pre-installed coupling?
Couplings are not included by default but can be added based on your motor shaft diameter and desired torque specs. We offer a range of high-quality couplings to ensure zero backlash and efficient transmission.
Need help selecting a coupling? Let our team handle the specs for you.
What type of systems typically use the 0-Series?
We see the 0-Series commonly used in compact automation systems, 3D printers, lightweight CNC machines, and robotics. Anywhere space is a premium and accurate motor alignment is essential, the 0-Series offers a clean, effective solution.
Can this motor mount handle high loads or speeds?
The 0-Series is intended for light to moderate-duty applications. While it provides robust structural support for many motion systems, for high-load or high-speed operations we may recommend a different series.
If you're working with heavier forces, our engineers can suggest the right mount from our product line.
Is there an option to integrate this with a Fangtooth actuator or ball screw assembly?
Yes, the 0-Series is fully compatible with Fangtooth’s linear actuators and rolled ball screw assemblies. In fact, many customers use them as part of a complete, plug-and-play linear motion system.
How do I order a 0-Series mount for my project?
You can request a quote directly through our website or contact our sales team with your motor size, intended configuration, and project timeline. We’ll guide you through the options and make sure you get exactly what your system requires. Ask an engineer for recommendations.
