  • Page 10: Environmental Specifications

    Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the stage. Aerotech stages are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Any deviation from standard operating temperature will affect stage accuracy. The severity of temperature effects on all stage specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the stage is mounted.

  • Page 11: Basic Specifications

    1. Maximum speed is based on stage capability. Actual speed may be limited by system data rate, resolution, or amplifier selection. 2. Maximum loads are mutually exclusive. Loading limits are due to the collet chuck mechanism. Contact Aerotech directly if part load requirement exceeds specifications.
