Aerotech: Linear Motor Drive Precision Stage (PRO115-HS Series)
Aerotech manufactures a large selection of positioning stages including linear stage models that utilize our own brushless linear direct-drive servomotors, as well as ball-screw models driven with Aerotech brush or brushless rotary motors. Innovators in linear stage design, manufacture and integration, Aerotech builds linear positioning stages for high-performance applications in industrial robots, fiber optics and photonics, vision systems, machine tools, assembly, semiconductor equipment, medical component laser machining, laser micromachining, electronic manufacturing, and other industrial automation applications.
Aerotech linear stages are available in X, XY and XYZ combinations to meet your motion requirements.
PRO115-HS Mechanical-Bearing Ball-Screw Linear Stage
Seven models with travels from 100 mm to 500 mm
4X speed capability of the regular PRO series – up to 1200 mm/s
Side-seal design with hard cover
Low-cost; high performance
Long-life linear motion guide bearing system
The PRO115-HS is Aerotech's smallest hard cover, side-sealed stage design and comes with a 20 mm/rev ball screw for high-speed applications requiring up to 1200 mm/s. Competitive pricing coupled with Aerotech's reputation for producing high-quality linear motion devices make the PRO115-HS an attractive stage for medium-performance, high-speed applications.
The hard-cover design provides protection from debris. The robust aluminum cover is hard-coated to provide a scratch resistant surface.
The side seals keep dirt and particulates out of the stage and protect the bearing surfaces from contamination. The vertical orientation of the seals easily deflects debris away from the stage. Competitive top seal designs can collect debris, resulting in the eventual failure and replacement of the sealing mechanism.
The PRO115-HS has a NEMA 23 flange-mounting interface for attachment of a wide variety of Aerotech and third-party motors. Aerotech can provide brush, brushless and stepper motors preconfigured and mounted directly to the stage for integration with Aerotech controls. Or the stage can be purchased without the motor for the attachment of third-party motors.
Easily Accessible Mounting
The mounting holes in the PRO115-HS base are accessible from the outside of the stage for ease of integration. The cover does not have to be removed when mounting the stage to a bread-board or when attaching multiple stages together in an X/Y/Z system. The tabletop is available with both metric and English hole patterns and can be ordered with brush attachments to clear debris that may collect on the hard cover. Tabletops with hole patterns that allow the direct attachment of Aerotech's ADRS and ACS-LP series low profile direct-drive rotary stages are available.
Aerotech's BM series brushless servomotor with square-wave encoder output provides a net resolution of 2 microns. A holding brake can be added to the motor to prevent backdriving, and a motor fold-back kit is available for space-constrained applications to reduce the overall stage length.
