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 slide is plain-bearing guided (ELGA-TB-G), ball-
bearing guided (ELGA-TB-KF) or roller-guided (ELGA-TB-RF). The reference position of the slide can be
detected with the help of accessories (è 5.1.3 Mount accessories).

Transport

Note
Unexpected movement of components. The axis is non-braking. Without input torque,
the slide is freely movable.
• Take product weight into account (è 12 Technical data).
• Comply with maximum permitted support spacing when attaching transportation aids
(è 13 Characteristic curves).

Installation, mechanical

Requirements
• Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: Direct request to make changes in these operating instructions.
• Select the motor and motor attachment kit from the Festo
catalogue (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 mounting instructions for
the mounting attachment kit.
• Connect motor cables only after the axis is mounted.
• For motor mounting: if present, remove the threaded pin on the
mounting side from the thread 3 (è Fig. 2).
Note
The reference position is lost when the motor is dismantled (e.g. when turning the mo­
tor around).
• Start homing (è 6 Commissioning).
