ABSTRACT:
A scanning assembly is disclosed for providing controlled movement of a mirror. The scanning assembly includes a motor shaft of a limited rotation motor, a scanning device, and a scanning device mounting unit. The mirror mounting unit includes a tapered base for coupling the scanning device mounting unit to the output shaft of the limited rotation motor. One of the tapered base and the output shaft includes a cylindrical tapered male plug having a decreasing inner diameter that decreases along a direction of coupling of the tapered base and the output shaft for engaging the tapered base to the output shaft. The tapered base includes an overall taper angle of at most about 4.0 degrees from the rotational axis of the output shaft.
