Mounting Kraken X44
Installation Instructions
The following sections provide detailed information on various use cases with the Kraken X44.
The Kraken X44 has eleven #10-32 mounting holes on a 1.375" bolt circle, spaced 30 degrees apart.
The blind mounting holes are 0.250" deep, meaning they don't go through the mounting plate. By using blind mounting holes, teams cannot lock the motor's internal rotor by using too long of a screw.
The additional mounting holes give teams the ability to change the direction of the wires.
The table below shows the appropriate bolt length that should be used when mounting the Kraken X44.
| Material Thickness | Recommended Bolt Length |
|---|---|
0.0625"
0.250"
0.125"
0.375"
0.250"
0.500"
The SplineXS has an 8mm OD, which means the shaft fits into a standard 8mm ID bearing. This features allows teams to better support the end of the SplineXS shaft when the application demands it.
The SplineXS shaft on the Kraken X44 has a #10-32 tapped hole at the end, perfectly designed to fit the #10-32 x .250" L PHCS (WCP-1740) offered by WCP.
Use a combination of Kraken Spacers so that the pinion does not move on the SplineXS shaft.
