I'm getting quotes on having some NEMA34 pattern to 4 M8x1.25 on a 75mm circle adapter plates made in 6061 aluminum to mount in place of old DC servos which fit with rather loose tolerance with bolts through slotted holes in aluminum castings, about 1/4" thick. The old motors used shim plates to provide a flat face.
To adapt NEMA34 pattern motors is basically the same idea, but thicker so countersunk flathead socket screws can hold the plate to the motor and have four threaded holes to mount the same as the old motors. The mounting areas of the castings aren't large enough to make new slotted holes for the larger NEMA34 pattern and the Z-axis casting is very thick with deep milled pocket/slots in its underside, so modifying that is definitely not a possibility. Question is, how thick is thick enough? Many new motors are much lighter and more powerful than the old ones. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
