1.1. Environmental Specifications
WARNING
: Do not expose this product to environments or conditions outside of the
listed specifications. You could damage the equipment if you exceed the environmental or
operating specifications.
Table 1-2:
Environmental Specifications
Ambient
Temperature
Operating: 10° to 35° C (50° to 95° F)
The optimal operating temperature is 20° C ±2° C (68° F ±4° F). If at any time the
operating temperature deviates from 20° C degradation in performance could
occur.
Storage: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) in original shipping packaging
Humidity
Operating: 20% to 60% RH
Storage: 10% to 70% RH, non-condensing in original packaging.
The stage should be packaged with desiccant if it is to be stored for an extended
time.
Altitude
Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level
Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below
sea level.
Vibration
Use the system in a low vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical
vibration can affect system performance. Contact Aerotech for information
regarding your specific application.
Protection
Rating
The ECO225SL stages have an ingress protection rating of IP10.
Use
Indoor use only
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
The accuracy specification of ECO225SL 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
The accuracy of the screw is a key element in the overall positioning accuracy of the SL stage. A scale
error can be expected if temperature of the screw differs from 20° C (68° F). The greater the
temperature difference, the greater the error. The temperature of the screw depends on the speed and
duty cycle of the stage. The faster the movement and higher the duty cycle, the more the stage accuracy
will be affected by heat. The thermal expansion coefficient of the screw is 11.7 ppm/°C.
