1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects The accuracy specification of ECO115SL series stages is measured 25 mm above the table with the stage in an unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or exceeding the specification in Section 2.3.
Resolution is dependent on pitch, encoder resolution, and controller interpolation. N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time. All drawings and illustrations are for reference only and were complete and accurate as of this manual’s release.
1. Certified with -PL1 / -PL2 option. 2. Achieved with Aerotech rotary motor with amplified sine encoder. 3. Achieved with Aerotech rotary motor with 2500 counts/rev digital encoder. 4. Requires the selection of an appropriate amplifier with sufficient voltage and current.
Overview ECO115SL Hardware Manual 1.4. Vacuum Operation Aerotech can specially prepare the ECO115SL for operation in vacuum environments. Aerotech offers two vacuum preparation options; one for low vacuum (for use in atmospheric pressures to 10 torr) and one for high vacuum (preparation for environments from 10 to 10 torr).
Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.

N O T E : If your ECO115SL 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 ECO115SL is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
Mechanical Specifications and Installation ECO115SL Hardware Manual Figure 2-5: Stage Orientations The approximate amount of torque required to turn the ball screw of ECO115SL series stages can be found from Figure 2-7 or the following equation: (AxialLoad) (LeadofScrew) Torque π...
Electrical installation requirements will vary depending on product options. Installation instructions in this section are for ECO115SL stages equipped with standard Aerotech motors intended for use with an Aerotech motion control system. Contact Aerotech for further information regarding products that are otherwise configured.
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. N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required.
