Function and application
A rotating slide spindle converts the rotary movement of a motor into a linear
movement. The inner slide then moves backwards and forwards. The slide
6
is
driven by an axially rigid connection through a slot in the profile. A cover strip

covers the slot in the profile.
The slide is bearing mounted. The reference position of the slide can be detected
using proximity switched in the grooves
aC
.
The EGC−...−BS−KF−... spindle axis is inten
ded to be used to precisely position useful
loads. It is approved for slide operating
mode.
Note
The EGC−...−BS−KF−... spindle axis is not fitted with a brake: When input torque is
not applied, the slide can be moved freely.
Generally automatic locking of the entire system can be achieved using motors
with integrated spring−loaded holding brake or with high self−braking torque
(e.g.for vertical operation).
