3.1. PREPARING THE STAGE BASE
The application's SE motor and Carriage are mounted on the Stage base. The form of the Base and
the Carriage are application dependent. However, some basic rules are applicable to all designs in
order to ensure optimal performance.
It is critical that the stiffness of the stage along the direction perpendicular to
the motion direction of carriage travel is >50N/µm.
3.2. MOTOR MOUNTING HOLES
The SE4 and SE8 motors have a built-in preload setting. Therefore the motors are mounted in a
fixed position (
Figure 3
). The mounting configuration of SE4-1-V and SE8-1-V motors is shown in
Figure 3
.
All dimensions in this document are in millimeters unless otherwise specified.
Isometric drawings use European standard display.
The mounting base for the motors must be an integral part of the stage
baseplate.
