Overview AGR Series Stage Hardware Manual
1.2.3. Brake Option
AGR rotary stages are available with brakes integrated into the motor. Note that in two models (AGR100 and
AGR150), the brake housing extends below the stage mounting surface. In addition, the stepper motor
option for the AGR200 also extends below the mounting surface. Refer to the dimension drawings for
specific stage details (refer to Section 1.4.). The standard AGRmounting plate option (-MP) is recommended
in these cases to provide the necessary clearance for mounting the stages.
1.2.4. Encoder Option
The AGR series of rotary stages are available with direct encoders to increase stage performance. The high-
performance rotary encoder is directly coupled to the payload mounting surface. This option is available in an
amplified sine or with 50X TTL output. This option increases the height of the standard model (refer to
Section 1.4.).
