Function and application

A rotating slide spindle converts a motor's rotation into linear motion. The slide 6
will then move backwards and forwards. The slide is bearing mounted. The slide's
reference position may be queried by means of inductive proximity sensors and
switch lugs in the sensor rail (è Chapter 10 Accessories").
The EGSP and EGSK electrical slides are intended to be used for the precise posi
tioning of effective loads.
Note
The EGSP/EGSK electrical 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.
