Question: I have a VMAX #VMM-111B18VM VMAX Brushless Motor. What do I need in the way of mounting screws?
Answer: There are a several options for this depending on what you have in mind:
a) VMAX VMAX #VMM-111B18VM VMAX Brushless Motors that are supplied with VMAX Power Modules and VMAX Power Packs come pre-mounted with the appropriate screws for the motor.
b) The threads are 3mm and generally four 3mm x 6-12 mm machine hex head screws with washers will work.
c) We sell a Mounting Screw Set (#VMM-111B18MS) consisting of four 3mm x 10mm hex head screws. Hex head screws should be used with flat washers under the heads.
d) We also sell a Mounting Screw Set (#VMM-111B18MT) consisting of 16 mounting screws. Four screws in each of four different sizes/styles.
- 3 x 10 mm Hex head machine screws (4) (like VMM-111B18MS)
- 3 x 16 mm Hex head machine screws (4) (longer version of above)
- 3 x 6 mm Phillips countersink head screws (4) (for flush fitting)
- 3 x 10 mm Phillips countersink head screws (4) (for flush fitting)
The four different sizes/styles allow for thicker firewalls, multi-layer firewalls where the screw heads must be countersunk between the layers, etc.
This set provides for a very wide range of different mounting methods.
Hex head screws should be used with flat washers under the heads.
CAUTION: When mounting motors using any method, ensure all fasteners are tightened securely. Check for vibration free operation of the motor. If not vibration free, reseat and retighten all fasteners and ancilliary components such as props and gears. Tighten fasteners firmly but don't strip the threads. Use medium strength thread locker on all metal to metal fasteners.
