NEMA 8, 11, 14, 23 and 34 stepper motors
What is the NEMA 23 mounting hole pattern? · Hardware · basis: NEMA ICS 16 frame sizes; shaft and boss dimensions as commonly supplied (check the specific motor's drawing for body length)
- sizes
- 6 in table
Notes
- The NEMA number is the face width in tenths of an inch: NEMA 17 = 1.7 in = 42.3 mm. The face and hole pattern are fixed; body length varies with torque.
- NEMA 23: 56.4 mm face, 47.14 mm (1.856 in) hole pattern, Ø5.1 holes (#10-32 or M5), Ø38.1 boss, Ø6.35 shaft. NEMA 34: 86 mm face, 69.6 mm pattern, Ø14 shaft.
- NEMA 14: 35.2 face, 26 mm pattern, M3; NEMA 11: 28.2 face, 23 mm pattern, M2.5; NEMA 8: 20.2 face, 16 mm pattern, M2, Ø4 shaft.
