Festo EGC Axis Units

Festo EGC Axis Units are constructed with a profile optimized for rigidity and feature a ball-bearing guide for handling high loads and torques. The lineup includes the EGC-BS with a ball screw axis and the EGC-TB with a toothed belt axis. The EGC-BS units feature a precise, quiet-running, heavy-duty ball screw axis with a cross-section optimized for load-bearing capacity, meaning these linear actuators can often be used in a smaller size to lower costs. The EGC-BS series is designed for high repeatability accuracy with strokes of up to 3m possible, and the motor can be flexibly mounted on either side. The EGC-TB toothed belt version offers a heavy-duty, belt-driven linear actuator, and the motor can be flexibly mounted on several sides. As a dynamic linear actuator, the EGC-TB achieves high speeds even with large loads and long strokes of up to 8.5m. Festo EGC Axis Units are part of Festo's portfolio of electromechanical actuators, motors, drive controllers, and control systems.
