When a PRO-style stage is desired, but more load
capability is necessary, the PRO280 series is ideal. Similar
in design to the PRO225 series, PRO280 series stages
provide additional load carrying capability with larger
bearings, a wider cross-section, and a larger servomotor.
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 34 Motor Support
The PRO280 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.
Highly Configurable
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.
