Overview ECO165LM Hardware Manual ECO165LM Linear Motor Stage (continued) Lifting Hardware (Optional) Lifting hardware NOTE: Lifting option only available on travels 400 mm and greater. Lifting should never by ordered on the upper-axis of an XY set (only order on lower-axis)
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects The accuracy specification of ECO165LM 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.
ECO165LM Hardware Manual 1.3. Basic Specifications N O T E : Aerotech continually improves its product offerings; listed options may be superseded at any time.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.
3. Axis orientation for on-axis loading is listed. 4. Specifications are for single-axis systems measured 25 mm above the tabletop; performance of multi-axis system is payload and workpoint dependent. Consult the Aerotech factory for multi-axis or non-standard applications. www.aerotech.com Chapter 1...
Special Guidelines To ensure that the ECO165LM will continue to perform well in the vacuum environment, follow the guidelines listed below (in addition to standard handling, installation, and lubrication guidelines outlined in this manual). 1. Do not remove the ECO165LM from the sealed bag until it is ready for use.
Mechanical Specifications and Installation Chapter 2: Mechanical Specifications and Installation W A R N I N G : ECO165LM installation must be in accordance to instructions provided by this manual and any accompanying documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury or damage to the equipment.
Shipping Brackets Used on Single Axis Stages or Upper Axes of XY Systems N O T E : After removing the lifting features or shipping brackets, retain them for future use. Do not transport or ship the ECO165LM without the lifting features or shipping brackets attached. Chapter 2...
ECO165LM Series Stage with Lifting Features N O T E : After removing the lifting features or shipping brackets, retain them for future use. Do not transport or ship the ECO165LM without the lifting features or shipping brackets attached. www.aerotech.com...
W A R N I N G : Make sure that all moving parts are secure before moving the ECO165LM. Unsecured moving parts may shift and cause bodily injury. W A R N I N G : Do not attempt to manually move the ECO165LM if it is connected to a power source.
N O T E : If your ECO165LM 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 ECO165LM is started up without a payload, the servo gains provided by Aerotech with the shipment may not be appropriate and servo instability can occur.
Stage Orientations 2.4.1. Speed Capability To help ensure safety and prevent damage to the system, speed limitations are required for the ECO165LM. Achievable speeds are application-dependent and determined by factors such as travel length, payload, amplifier sizing and duty cycle. The Motor Sizer application supplied by Aerotech at https://www.aerotech.com/resources/motor-sizer.aspx can be used to estimate allowable speeds and...
Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the ECO165LM is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the ECO165LM to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components usually indicate the appropriate connections.
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.

5. All performance and electrical specifications ±10% 6. Maximum winding temperature is 125°C. 7. Ambient operating temperature range 0 °C - 25 °C; consult Aerotech for performance in elevated ambient temperatures 8. All Aerotech amplifiers are rated Apk; use force constant in N·m/Apk when sizing.
Electrical Specifications and Installation 3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction Aerotech stages are configured to have positive and negative "machine" directions. The machine direction defines the phasing of the feedback and motor signals and is dictated by the stage wiring (refer to Section 3.5.
4.1. Service and Inspection Schedule Inspect the ECO165LM once per month. A longer or shorter inspection interval may be required depending on the specific application, and conditions such as the duty cycle, speed, and environment.
When cleaning and/or lubricating components of the ECO165LM series stages: 1. Be sure to use a clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. 2. Before using a cleaning solvent on any part of the ECO165LM, blow away small particles and dust with clean, dry, compressed air.
ECO165LM Hardware Manual Maintenance N O T E : During the lubrication procedure, inspect the linear motion guides for any damage or signs of wear. The lubrication and cleaning process is outlined in the steps that follow. D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
ECO165LM Hardware Manual Maintenance 4.3. Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause and Solution Stage will not move Shipping restraints still installed. Remove the red anodized shipping brackets. In Limit condition. Check limits (refer to Chapter 3) and refer to controller documentation for polarity and compatibility requirements (Example: voltage requirements).
