Steel NEMA 17 Motor Mount Plate – OpenBuilds

The Steel NEMA 17 Motor Mount Plate from OpenBuilds is a precision-engineered mounting bracket designed to securely hold a standard NEMA 17 stepper motor in place within a modular framing system. The plate features a flat base with mounting holes sized to align with motor mounting flanges and is configured to integrate cleanly with V-slot or profile-based structural frames. The steel construction ensures that it can withstand mechanical stresses from motor operation while maintaining alignment over time.

With its durable steel body and finished surface, the mount plate provides a stable platform for the motor shaft, minimizing vibration and deflection. The design allows the motor to be fastened using screws or bolts through the pre-drilled holes, while the plate itself can be fixed to the structural extrusion or base plate so that the drive assembly remains rigid during operation. This structural rigidity is important for applications such as CNC mills, 3D printers or robotics systems where precise motion is required.

The plate’s compatibility with common motor and framing standards makes it versatile across many setups. Whether you are mounting a NEMA 17 motor to drive a belt, lead screw or direct-coupled mechanism, the mount plate acts as a reliable interface between the motor and the machine frame. In short, this component simplifies installation, ensures repeatable alignment, and contributes to the overall robustness of the motion system.

Features:

• Steel construction designed for strength and durability.
• Pre-drilled mounting holes to fit NEMA 17 motor mounting patterns.
