Mechanical Design & Installation Notes

Proper installation helps maintain stable operation, reduce vibration, and maximize service life during OEM integration.

Compact Mechanical Structure
The BDCM1320 features a Φ13 × 20 mm cylindrical housing, providing a compact footprint for applications where radial and axial space are limited.

Bearing & Shaft Protection
Axial play is 0.05–0.15 mm, and radial play is ≤0.012 mm. Proper shaft alignment, controlled press-fit force, and suitable mechanical loading help reduce bearing stress and maintain stable operation.

Operating Environment
The recommended ambient temperature range is -20°C to +80°C, with relative humidity below 90% RH (25°C). Maximum rotor temperature should not exceed 85°C.

Optional Gearbox Integration
A planetary gearbox option is available for applications requiring lower output speed and higher torque transmission.
