Electric drives alternatives to pneumatic cylinders


High-performance electric cylinders employing Festo's innovative new tubular linear motor technology.  Feature similar dimensions and mechanical interfaces as their pneumatic counterparts, which makes them 'drop-in' electrically-driven alternatives. The cylinders offer fully programmable, closed-loop position, acceleration and speed control, and are suitable for applications that demand extremely fast and accurate positioning capabilities lower long term running costs



Electric mini slide EGSL  Efficient positioning with strokes of up to 300 mm
For vertical applications and with short-stroke slide functions with variable positioning
EGSL – for high-precision sliding, picking and inserting, even under high mechanical loads

Linearity and parallelism in the 1/100 mm range

Benefits:

Free positioning with repetition accuracy of ≤ ±0.02 mm

Very high rating of slide loads, ideal for vertical applications such as press-fitting or joining

Reliable: the completely closed spindle stops dirt or small parts getting into the guide area
Flexible: motor can be attached laterally or axially, in this case turned by 4 x 90°
Matching software tools in the FCT software package from Festo 
 

Application:

Use as a Z-axis in linear and 3D gantries for pick & place tasks in the handling and assembly sector
