Festo’s ELGC electromechanical actuators provide a sealed actuator for ball screw or belt driven applications. Use either Festo’s motors and drives or we can adapt to your specified motor and drive package. Quick delivery, compact design, and affordable cost make these flexible actuators a great fit for rapid deployment.
Compact, low cost and protected
- Compact: optimum ratio of installation space to working space
- Protected: against external influences by internal guide
- Flexible: wide range of mounting options for optimum machine integration
- Unique: easy-to-mount system
Product Overview
Spindle Axis ELGC-BS-KF
- Internal spindle with ball screw for precise and smooth operation
- Rigid and precise guide rail to absorb high guide forces
Toothed Belt Axis ELGC-TB-KF
- Internal toothed belt drive for dynamic motion, even with high loads
- Rigid and precise guide rail to absorb high guide forces
Application
When compact dimensions and optimised installation space are important:
- Mounting systems
- Test and inspection systems
- Small parts handling
- Electronics industry
- Desktop applications
Regardless of whether as an individual axis or as a handling system.
Maximum protection
Magnetically attached stainless steel band provides a virtually gapless cover:
- Maximum protection against contamination
- Cover band doesn’t sag in overhead installations
Easy mounting
- Easy to mount the ELGC together or to combine it with the mini slide EGSC using the universal profile mounting
- Larger base axis can be combined with the smaller structural axis without the need for additional adapters
- Simple linear or three-dimensional gantries, pick & place solutions or 3D cantilever systems
Powerful and clean
- Lifetime lubrication for maintenance-free operation combined with a long service life
- Smooth surface with clean look design: easy to clean, less prone to contamination and attractive enough to be used in the visible area of the system
- Flexible motor mounting with numerous, freely selectable positions and the option to modify it at any time for an optimum machine design
- Vacuum port on the axis closed as standard to seal the axis and reduce particle emissions. Increased system protection for zero particle emissions possible at any time through optional connection of vacuum.
- Easy and low-cost position sensing in combination with proximity sensor SMT-8M
