Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level. Altitude Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below sea level. Use the system in a low-vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration Vibration can affect system performance.
1. Certified with each stage. 2. Direct encoder repeatability specifications are for systems that use the -E1 or -E3 direct encoder options only. 3. Maximum speed is load dependent. Contact an Aerotech Application Engineer if imbalanced loads are present. 4. Unloaded acceleration.

Because of this, consider all continuous torque ratings to be 40 to 60% lower than the value specified for operation in normal atmospheric environment. Reduce motor usage accordingly. Chapter 1 www.aerotech.com...
AGR75, 6 mm SHCS for the AGR100 and AGR150, and 8 mm SHCS for the AGR200. AGR series stages also have a fixed mounting pattern on the side of the stage. The size of the side mounting holes are M5 for the AGR50 and AGR75; M6 for the AGR100 and AGR150; and M8 for the AGR200.
N O T E : If your AGR was purchased with Aerotech controls, it might have been tuned with a representative payload based on the information provided at the time of order. If the AGR is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
W A R N I N G : Electrical installation must be performed by properly qualified personnel. Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the AGR is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the AGR to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided.
Stages equipped with standard motors and encoders come from the factory completely wired and assembled. N O T E : Refer to the other documentation accompanying your Aerotech equipment. Call your Aerotech representative if there are any questions on system configuration.
