26 Electric drives
Toothed belt and spindle
axes EGC
Measuring and clamping
units
The powerhouse in the EGC range of axes.
With a double guide for extremely high lateral
forces and torques, the heavy-duty version
has twice the load capacity of the standard
axis. Specially developed profiles provide
maximum rigidity and load capacity. As a
toothed belt drive (TB) or spindle drive (BS),
it is ideal for handling systems and cantilever
systems.
• Less installation space, easier
commissioning, lower costs than dual axes
• Freely selectable motor connection with
EGC-HD-TB on 4 sides
• Subsequent conversion possible at
any time
• Axis/motor/motor controller ideally
dimensioned with PositioningDrives
Toothed belt and spindle
axes EGC-HD
EGC now offers you maximised safety.
With new safety elements for creating a
safety-oriented handling axis. The linear
measurement system directly monitors the
position of the axis slide. The 1- or 2-channel
clamping unit acts directly on the guide rail
of the axis. Together with safety system
CMGA, this forms a complete safety solution.
• Detects all drive train elasticity with
absolute accuracy
• Optimally corrects inaccuracies
• Optional 1- or 2-channel clamping unit
for holding function or as a drop guard
• Clamping unit can be used with all sizes
(80, 120 and 185) and as an emergency
brake with sizes 120 and 185
Sturdy and very fast:
ELGA-TB as a perfect extension of the EGC.
For simple positioning and handling tasks
or as a drive axis for applications with an
external guide: ELGA-TB-G with plain-bearing
guide. Thanks to its roller bearing guide and
high feed forces, ELGA-TB-RF is optimised for
highly dynamic handling, even of large
workpieces.
• Flexible motor connection at 4 positions,
can be changed at a later date
• Protective cover strip made of
stainless steel
• Easy to configure and commission
with PositioningDrives and the Festo
Configuration Tool (FCT)
