ASRT Mechanical-Bearing, Direct-Drive, Sealed Rotary Stages
ASRT sealed rotary stages provide precise angular positioning in hostile environments where dirt or liquids are present. The ASRT can operate in environments with dust or fluid jets and where cutting fluids are present. Applications range from industrial machining automation to precision sensor positioning in hostile environments. The ASRT is effective for precise rotary motion in product environmental test and range tracking applications.

Design Features
- IP66: Totally protected against dust and water jets from any direction
- Operation over large temperature range: -20 to +70° C
- Low-friction seal minimizes direction reversal hysteresis to allow small, precise positioning
- Shaft aperture option with three available sizes: 30 mm, 80 mm, and 130 mm
- Excellent accuracy (to 2 arc sec) and repeatability (to 1.5 arc sec)
- Axial load capacity to 130 kg
- Up to 200 rpm continuous rotation speed
- Direct-drive motor provides rapid precision motion with no gear backlash
The ASRT series is available in three different sizes for a variety of load and motor torque ratings. A shaft aperture option on all sizes allows for electrical, pneumatic, or fluid feedthrough. Offered with a high-accuracy optical (incremental or absolute) non-contact encoder or with a robust magnetic non-contact encoder, the ASRT has many feedback options to meet the specific requirements for many tough applications.
Standard operating temperature for the ASRT is 0 to 70°C. Operation below freezing requires the optional air-purge and dessicant. Air-purged stages can operate from -20 to 70°C.
A polymer-based paint on the housing and hard-coated tabletop is standard for corrosion protection. The stage has optional tan, black, and white paint colors.
Rotary speeds of up to 200 rpm are available. The ASRT includes an electrically grounded shaft and housing to protect against electrical shock and eliminate RF re-radiation, and housing grounding points are included. Circular sealed connectors are standard, while options include desiccant cartridge, air purge option, and mounting flange accessory.
Superior Mechanical Design
Dual large-diameter bearings are used to maximize performance with respect to tilt error motion, moment stiffness, and repeatability. The large diameter bearings permit large payloads without compromising performance.
Brushless Direct-Drive
To maximize positioning performance, the ASRT series utilizes Aerotech’s brushless, slotless motor. This motor has all of the advantages of a brushless direct-drive motor – no brushes to wear, no gear trains to maintain, and high acceleration and high speeds. The low inertia and zero backlash make the ASRT the ideal solution for applications requiring frequent directional changes.
Aerotech manufactures a wide range of servo amplifiers and advanced controllers to provide a complete integrated package.

Integration
Aerotech offers both standard and custom integration services to help you get your system fully operational as quickly as possible. The following standard integration options are available for this system. Please consult Aerotech if you are unsure what level of integration is required, or if you desire custom integration support with your system.
| Option | Description |
| -TAS | Integration - Test as system Testing, integration, and documentation of a group of components as a complete system that will be used together (ex: drive, controller, and stage). This includes parameter file generation, system tuning, and documentation of the system configuration. |
| -TAC | Integration - Test as components Testing and integration of individual items as discrete components. This is typically used for spare parts, replacement parts, or items that will not be used or shipped together (ex: stage only). These components may or may not be part of a larger system. |
