The PRO165 is a medium performance, entry-level
linear stage from Aerotech. It is similar in design to the PRO115
series, providing additional load carrying capability with larger
bearings and a wider cross-section.
Rugged Construction
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.
NEMA 23 Motor Support
The PRO165 has a NEMA 23 motor flange mounting interface and can
be ordered with an Aerotech standard brushless, slotless, rotary
motor installed. Alternatively, the stage can be ordered without
a motor for the attachment of third-party DC brush, brushless,
or stepper motors.
Highly Configurable
The stage is equipped with a ground 5 mm/rev ball screw and can
be outfitted with English and metric bolt-hole pattern tabletops.
A stage-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.
