Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A mounting for supporting a stepping motor of a machine, the stepping motor having an electric input pulse stepwise rotated rotor shaft rotatably arranged in a housing and partly projecting out of the housing through a bearing provided on one face of the housing, comprising: a plurality of inner threaded mounts attachable to the one face of the housing radially of the bearing; cushion means formed to surround each of said mounts; a support plate having a plurality of openings adapted to receive said mounts and cushion means with a radial clearance while said cushion means clamps a portion of said support plate surrounding each of said holes, a separate single opening formed to receive the bearing, and one of said plurality of openings being formed so that the housing is prevented from moving angularly with respect to said bearing receiving opening; and fastening means including washer means oriented to press against said cushion means as a fastening screw is screwed into each of said mounts causing said cushion means to clamp said support plate between said washer means and the housing.
