The PRO165SL\u2019s durable construction provides protection from debris while the side seals prevent particulate matter from entering the stage. The curved hardcover design provides a natural shape that prevents excessive contamination from collecting on the stage. Capable of accommodating an ample payload range, PRO165SL stages are easy and intuitive to integrate, set up and operate. They also deliver an exceptionally long lifetime of consistent positioning performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Design &amp; Integration Flexibility<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PRO165SL is designed with many standard features and options that make it incredibly flexible and allow it to be easily tailored to your specific application. The base mounting holes are accessible from the outside of the stage, allowing for easy horizontal or vertical mounting to both metric and English optical tables and other interfaces. The stage tabletop comes standard with a metric mounting pattern to accommodate your payload, process equipment or even another axis of motion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brushless servo motors are available with a variety of encoder feedback options, providing electrical resolutions ranging from 0.5 \u00b5m down to the sub-nm level. For vertical applications, the motor can be equipped with a fail-safe holding brake. Plus, PRO165SL stages can be configured with an optional motor foldback kit that reduces the overall axis length, thereby simplifying integration into space-constrained applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PRO165SL stages can be prepared for use in special environments by request. Contact us to learn about compatibility in vacuum chambers, cleanrooms and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Automate with Professional-Grade Motion<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our PRO-series stages are available in many sizes and configurations to accommodate an equally diverse range of user needs and application requirements.
