Aerotech: Linear Motor Drive Precision Stage (PRO225 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.

Ten models with travels from 100 mm to 1000 mm
Speeds up to 220 mm/s
Side-seal design with hard-cover protects from debris better than top-seal design
Low-cost; high performance
Long-life linear motion guide bearing system
Additional load capability versus the PRO115/165
The PRO225 is a medium performance, entry-level linear stage from Aerotech. It is similar in design to the PRO165 series, providing additional load carrying capability with larger bearings and a wider cross-section.
The hard-cover design provides protection from debris. The robust aluminum cover is hard-coated providing 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. The tabletop can be outfitted with an optional brush assembly to remove any particles that collect on the hard cover. Competitive top-seal designs can ingest debris in the seal, resulting in the eventual failure and replacement of the sealing mechanism.
The PRO225 has a NEMA 34 motor flange mounting interface and can be ordered with an Aerotech standard brushless rotary motor installed. Alternatively, the stage can be ordered without a motor for the attachment of third-party DC brush, brushless or stepper motors.
The stage is equipped with a ground 5 mm/rev ball screw and can be outfitted with English or metric bolt-hole pattern tabletops. A motor-mounted brake option is available to prevent back driving the screw when power is removed from the servomotor with the stage in a vertical orientation. A fold-back kit is also available to effectively reduce the overall stage length for space-constrained applications.
