Festo - The most popular linear drives


Electric axes are linear drives powered by a motor. These axes are used for positioning, assembling and handling objects. Toothed belt and spindle axes are indispensable for this purpose. The ELGD series features advanced double recirculating double linear ball bearings and a stainless steel cover for reliable protection.


The axes are available as ball screw or toothed belt. With multiple designs for the axis and carrier, the ELGD delivers precision and flexibility for a wide range of applications in a sustainable manner.


ELGD-TB Toothed belt

Innovative profile design:

  • For highly dynamic applications and short positioning times
  • Excellent rigidity
  • Long strokes up to max. 2.5 m (BS) and 8.5 m (TB)


ELGD-BS

Innovative guide technology with optimised design for electric shaft mechanics:

  • Excellent rigidity
  • Guide has exceptional load-bearing capacity
  • Lightweight
  • Extended service life


Two profile variants:

  • Standard: square profile cross-section with optimised design
  • Wide: reduced profile height for smaller installation dimensions and more compact handling systems
  • High torsional rigidity with lower weight


Higher force

Shorter distance between belt and carrier ensures higher force.

By measuring compressed air pressure, flow and consumption, among other things, the SFAM provides full insight into the compressed air system. This insight is the first step in a more economical, safe and sustainable system.

    Plukon - Scanning for the future
    The Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Blokker has installations from all kinds of machine builders and suppliers. Each of these has its own control system and associated components from different brands. This situation has developed over time, with the result that Plukon lost track of the overall picture. When it became clear that many components were now obsolete, the company decided to have itsme carry out a FactoryScan. ‘This gives us more peace of mind and helps us to better plan the replacement of components for the future.’
