Aerotech's
PRO LM series of linear motor stages are offered in four different series with
38 different models in travels from 100 mm to 1.5 m. The PRO165LM, PRO225LM, PRO280LM and PRO560LM make up the Aerotech PRO LM
series of linear motor stages. They all feature a linear motion guide bearing
system and brushless linear servomotor and is useful in industrial applications
such as laser machining, medical component manufacturing, and other
applications requiring precise, smooth motion in a production environment.
The non-magnetic forcer coil provides high force with zero cogging for smooth
velocity and position control. This zero-cogging design is useful for
applications requiring outstanding contour accuracy and smooth velocity
profiling. Aerotech's linear motor stages have zero backlash and no windup. The
magnetic field of the linear motor is self-contained within the U-channel
design, making these stages well-suited for high-performance applications that
cannot tolerate the stray magnetic fields generated by flat motor magnet
tracks.
Noncontact linear encoders with micron-level repeatabilities are standard on
all PRO LM series stages. Either a line-driver output or amplified sine-wave
output encoder is available. The optional HALAR factory calibration further increases
the standard accuracy and repeatability. Sealed linear motion guide bearings
with integral wipers are incorporated to provide excellent payload capacity and
long life. Both the metal waycover and tabletop are treated with a hardcoat
that is scratch-resistant and provides outstanding protection in the harshest
applications, while the tabletop utilizes stainless steel Helicoil inserts to
protect mounting holes against thread wear. Several tabletop options are
available for metric or English mounting, as well as for direct interface with
our popular ADRS, ADRT, and AGR rotary stages. Configurable cable management
options are available for single- or multi-axis systems.
