To remove a motor:

  • If the motor to be removed is the Z axis, Chock up the Z slide so it doesn't drop when the motor is removed.
  • Lock out power to the machine.
  • Disconnect all cables going to the motor

If the motor is connected to the axis by a belt:

  • Unscrew the motor from the mounting plate
  • Remove the motor and belt


If the motor is connected via direct shaft coupling:

  • Unscrew the bolts that hold the motor to the machine via the coupling housing
  • Pull the motor away from the machine

This section will be expanded with images and more instructions shortly.
