Function

The toothed belt on a drive hollow shaft converts the rotation of the motor into a linear motion. As
a result, the slide moves backwards and forwards. The carriage is on anti-friction bearings (ELGA-TB-G),
ball-guided (ELGA-TB-KF) or roller-guided (ELGA-TB-RF). The reference position of the carriage can be
queried with the help of proximity switches (è 5.1.3 Mount accessories).

Transport

Note
Unexpected movement of components. The axis is unbraked and the carriage can move
freely.
• Secure slide during transport.
• Take product weight into account (è 12 Technical data).
• Comply with maximum permitted support spacing when attaching transportation aids
(è 13 Characteristic curves).

Mechanical installation

Prerequisites
• Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: immediate requirement for change in these operating instructions
• Select the motor and motor attachment kit from the Festo cata­
logue (è www.festo.com/catalogue).
When using other motors, observe the limit values for forces,
torques and speeds (è 12 Technical data).
• When mounting the motor: Follow the assembly instructions for
the mounting attachment kit.
• Connect motor cables only after the axis is mounted.
• Assembly of the motor: Removed threaded dowel from thread
on assembly side 3 (è Fig. 2).
Note
The reference position is lost when the motor is dismantled (e.g. when turning the motor
around).
• Start homing (è 6 Commissioning).
