AGR Series Stage Hardware Manual Operating Specifications
Chapter 3: Operating Specifications
The surrounding environment and operating conditions can affect the performance and service life of the
stage. This chapter provides information on ideal environmental and operating conditions.
3.1. Environmental Specifications
The environmental specifications for the AGR are listed in the following table.
Table 3-1: 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.
Contact Aerotech for information regarding your specific application and environment.
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
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.
Dust Exposure
In their standard configuration the AGR stages have limited protection against airborne
particles but not water. This equates to an ingress protection rating of IP40.
With the Seal (-SL) option the AGR stages have limited protection against dust, but no
protection against water. This equates to an ingress protection rating of IP50.
Use Indoor use only
W A R N I N G: Do not expose the AGR to environments or conditions outside the specified
range of operating environments. Operation in conditions other than those specified can cause
damage to the equipment.
