Operating Specifications
ASR1200 Rotary Stage User's Manual
3.4. Load Capability
The ASR1200 is designed for tubular manufacturing applications. With this in mind, the tubes loaded into the
collet chuck of the rotary axis must fall within the max load parameters outlined in Table 3-2.
N O T E :
Maximum loads are mutually exclusive; loading limits are due to the collet chuck mechanism.
Contact Aerotech directly if part load requirement exceeds specifications.
ASR1200 stages will contain a rotary union attached to the end of the rotary shaft, as pictured below in Fig-
ure 3-1. A 1/4" NPT tapped hole is provided on the end of the rotary union shaft to allow for connecting a pres-
sure vessel or extension tube. To prevent damage or performance degradation of the stage, the unsupported
length and weight of the attached pressure vessel is limited.
N O T E :
Aerotech recommends the following limitations on the size and weight of an unsupported pressure
vessel:
Length past end of rotary union (L): <250 mm
Moment about end of rotary union (M): <1.0 N-m
If these limits are exceeded, it is recommended that an external steady-rest or support be implemented.
