Linear axis

The EGC electric linear axis offers efficiency, maximum dynamic response and improved rigidity. The EGC electric linear axis is now available as a toothed belt drive or spindle drive. These new axes are easily integrated into the Festo multi-axis modular system and are also suitable for both stepper and servo motors.

The possibility of motor connection on either side of the drive and also at either end of the toothed belt axis results in simpler ordering and increased application flexibility — the motor position can be altered at any time and does not necessarily have to be specified when placing your order.

The aluminium profile and external guidance offers increased rigidity and improved efficiency. This means that users have the option to choose a smaller size drive to move the same load, reducing cost and installation space. The guide has been designed to sit closer to the load attachment interface, creating a smaller lever arm so that larger maximum loads and torques can be dealt with safely and securely.
