PRO560-HS Mechanical-Bearing Ball-Screw Linear Stage

Description

Design Features

  • Eight models with travels from 300 mm to 1500 mm
  • Speeds up to 1400 mm/s
  • Side-seal design with hard-cover protects from debris better than top-seal design
  • Cost effective yet rugged design
  • Long-life linear motion guide bearing system
  • Wider design for large, offset loads

The PRO560-HS series is similar in design to the PRO280-HS series stages but with a wider cross section for better support of long travel upper axes or large footprint payloads. It also has a 25 mm/rev ground ball-screw for higher speed compared to the standard PRO560 series.

Rugged Construction

The robust aluminum cover is hard-coated to provide a scratch resistant surface and the side seals keep dirt and particulates out of the stage to protect the bearing surfaces from contamination. The vertical orientation of the seals easily deflects debris away from the stage and 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.

NEMA 34 Motor Support

The PRO560-HS 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 NEMA 34 DC brush, brushless or stepper motors.

Highly Configurable

The stage is equipped with a ground 25 mm/rev ball screw and can be outfitted with English or metric bolt-hole pattern tabletops. A fold-back kit is also available to effectively reduce the overall stage length for space-constrained applications.
