Hi all,

curious what's the view on lowering stepper motor mount vibration, do you normally mount them against a plate via some sort of vibration cancelling material? I've seen cork 'gaskets' used for this and I even have some fancy rubber / cork / other 10mm thickness vibration mats at home which I could use, but I'd rather double check to see what's the standard solution. Of course there's the bolts as well, which will need fancy washers, or something similar?

Second thing is vibration against torque'd bolts, I'm using a mixture of M4 and M5, the M4s are torque'd to 3Nm (stainless into ali) and M5s will be 4Nm. With those torque values in mind, is there a risk of the bolts un-doing themselves under vibrations from the motor (Nema 34) ?

Regards,
T.
