Product overview
4.1
Function
The mini slide converts the rotary motion of the mounted motor into a linear
motion of the slide. The screw drive converts the torque of the motor into a feed
force. The linear movement of the slide is precisely guided by the guide. Sensors
monitor end positions, reference position and intermediate position.
