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.

    Avebe - A Good Night’s Sleep Thanks to FactoryScan
    Companies often have no clear idea of the installed base of industrial automation in their factories and warehouses. With FactoryScan, itsme can provide an overview of the current status of automation components such as PLCs. Potato processor Royal Avebe uses the results to update their component stock and assess future availability. The scan is intended to reduce the number of hardware-related disruptions Process Control Engineer Johan Wierenga has to deal with. It also helps him sleep better, knowing the stock is up to date.
