Function and application

A rotating slide spindle converts a motor's rotation into linear motion. The slide 3
will then move backwards and forwards. The slide is bearing mounted. The
reference position of the slide unit can be determined with the help of proximity
sensors (è chapter 10 "Accessories") in the slot 5 or through homing against a
fixed stop (retracted end position).
The EGSL mini slide is intended to be used for the precise positioning of effective
loads.
Note
The EGSL mini slide does not have automatic locking: When input torque is not
applied, the slide can be moved freely.
A latching function for the entire system can usually be achieved by the use of
motors with an integrated holding brake or by other suitable measures such as,
for example, clamping systems, motors with high gear ratios or automatically
locking gear units. Which measure is appropriate to select basically depends on
the application and the safety requirements.
• Select the corresponding Festo motor from our catalogue.
You will then be operating mating devices, which are especially adapted to
each other (è catalogue information, www.festo.com/catalogue and design
software "PositioningDrives" è www.festo.com).
• Observe the limit values for forces and positioning times
è chapter 12 "Technical data".
