Re: What is the best place to mount CIM motors...?
Team 2061,
A couple of things have not been added here on the motor placement. You should consider replacement, so place the motor where it will be easy to replace should it fail. If you use the threaded holes in the end plate to mount it, be sure you can get at the bolts when you need to perform some maintenance. It is also important to note that the bearings in the either of the Chalupa motors are not designed for high side loads and require additional bearings to prevent early failure of the motor. As to the use of CAT UTP cables...Remember that this family of cable is solid conductor. Solid conductor cables on moving devices spell disaster resulting from fatique breakage. They will require special handling to insure no failures. And as a side note, could you include a name in your online profile? Team 2061 is so informal, thanks. |

At work, we use industrial grade stranded CAT5/6 wiring. Here's a page out of the mouser catalog listing some industrial stranded ethernet cable: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/632/928.pdf Questions? Need better application example? Post! -q |

Pete's wise gut answer:
As low as possible. They are fairly heavy and can greatly effect your CG. |
