# PlanetaryX Mounting

## Input Block Mounting

The following examples illustrate some easy mounting solutions for the PlanetaryX using the Input Block. These configurations are designed to simplify integration into a variety of robot designs.

### Tube Mounting

The PlanetaryX can be mounted using just two #10-32 x 1-1/2"L bolts inserted through the clearance holes in the Input Block and secured with captured nuts seated in the integrated nut pockets. These holes follow the standard [1/2" Pitch Spacing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#id-1-2-pitch-spacing), making it a perfect fit for [Punched Tubing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#tubing) and other common FRC components.

The PlanetaryX can also be securely mounted to a flat surface using just four #10-32 x 1-1/4"L bolts, as shown below. This setup takes advantage of the Input Block’s integrated mounting holes, which follow the standard [1/2" Pitch Spacing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#id-1-2-pitch-spacing), making it a perfect fit for use with [Punched Tubing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#tubing).

### Side Mounting

The two examples below will show how the PlanetaryX can be mounted using either one of the [Side Mounting Hole Patterns ](/welcome/gearboxes/planetaryx/overview-and-features/basic-features.md#side-mounting)featured on the Input Block.

## Output Block Mounting

### Tube Mounting

The PlanetaryX can also be securely mounted by using the two #10-32 tapped holes on the Output Block, as shown below. This setup takes advantage of the Output Block’s integrated mounting holes, which follow the standard [1/2" Pitch Spacing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#id-1-2-pitch-spacing), making it a perfect fit for use with [Punched Tubing](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#tubing).

### Side Mounting

The two examples below will show how the PlanetaryX can be mounted using either one of the [Side Mounting Hole Patterns ](/welcome/gearboxes/planetaryx/overview-and-features/basic-features.md#side-mounting-1)featured on the Output Block.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/gearboxes/planetaryx/applications/planetaryx-mounting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
