Polygon Design Tradeoffs

One tradeoff encountered in system design is the number of facets versus polygon speed. In the speed range of 500-4,000 RPM we can use either ball bearing scanners or aerostatic scanners. Ball bearing scanners are relatively low cost and are the appropriate solution for many applications but are susceptible to damage, generate many vibration frequencies, and can create some motor speed instability.
