AGC Series Gear-Driven Goniometric Cradles

AGC-85

Gear-driven goniometric cradle with ±45 degrees travel and 85 mm radius of curvature.

AGC-160

Gear-driven goniometric cradle with ±45 degrees travel and 160 mm radius of curvature.

AGC-245

Gear-driven goniometric cradle with ±45 degrees travel and 245 mm radius of curvature.

Motor

-BMS

Brushless servomotor with connectors and 1000-line encoder; requires motor-to-controller cable; AGC-85 (BMS60-A-D25-E1000H), AGC-160 and AGC-245 (BMS100-A-D25-E1000H)

-SM

Stepping motor with 4.6 m (15 ft) integral cable and home marker pulse (one per rev); AGC-85 (50SMB2-HM), AGC-160 and AGC-245 (55SMB2-HM)

-NM

No motor

Optional Position Transducer

-AS

Direct encoder option, sine wave output; resolution (before encoder multiplication) of 6.6 arc seconds for AGC-85; 4.0 arc seconds for AGC-160; 2.8 arc seconds for AGC-245

-X50

Direct encoder option, square wave output; resolution of 0.033 arc seconds for AGC-85; 0.020 arc seconds for AGC-160; and 0.014 arc seconds for AGC-245

Note that using AGC stages with dual feedback loops will necessitate that the drive motor is outfitted with an amplified sine encoder and appropriate encoder interpolation (MXH, MXU, or MXR).
