Mounting

Standard Actuator mounting base: PitClamp Mini

Standard PCB mount: PCB Enclosure

PitClamp Mini v1.1

Developed by: armpit

3d printed modular quick-release adjustable and removable mount ecosystem for 57AIM, 42AIM, iHSV57 NEMA23 motors.

• 4 degree precision quick-adjustable rotation

• Motor can be quickly removed from mount for storage or use in another base

Stress tested to 50 ft-lb without grip being compromised. (PLA 6 walls 10% infill)

Supported motors:

57AIM (30/15/10)	47AIM (30/15/10)	iHSV571 (180w2)

¹:The iHSV57 ring is two parts but snaps into two pieces after removing from printer. Clasp each half around the motor to assemble. ²: Smaller than 180w iHSV57 will require modifications to that ring.
