Forming part of Festo's EGSS range of mini slide units is this EGSS-BS-KF-45-100-10P-ST-M-H1-PLK-AA cost-effective unit which has smooth spindle motion for Z motion and single guides movements between two end positions. This mini slide also forms part of Festo's simplified motion series which boasts a huge range of capabilities, enabling a complete solution for simple movements between two mechanical end positions. The mini slide is super easy to configure and can be put to work and be operational without the need for any software - further simplifying its use.

• The unit has a 100 mm working stroke with 0 mm stroke reserve
• Size - 45
• The spindle diameter is 10 mm with a 10 mm spindle pitch
• Features a recirculating ball bearing guide
• The mini slide unit contains an integrated stepper motor which produces linear mechanical actuation with a ball screw drive
• The actuator additionally features a user interface integrated end-position sensing
• Can be assembled in any position
• LED display
• The material of the slide is anodised wrought aluminium alloy
• 5 m/s2 maximum acceleration
• Has an ingress protection rating of IP40, which means that the mini slide is protected against solid objects which are larger than 1mm such as wires and screws. This protection rating also means that this unit does not have any moisture protection

• A complete solution consisting of an integrated actuator, motor and servo drive
• For precise vertical Z movements or individual guided linear movements
• Very high-quality ball screw drive with low internal friction
• Rigid, resilient and precise linear guide for the absorption of lateral forces and increased anti-twist protection
• Integrated end position sensing
• Two control options integrated as standard: digital I/O and IO-Link
• Easy commissioning according to the plug and work principle: all parameters are manually adjustable directly on the actuator without any software or special expertise required
• Product of the Simplified Motion Series: does not need any external servo drive or any control cabinet for the installation

The simplified motion series combines simplicity of pneumatics with the advantages of electrical automation tasks. The simplified motion series hosts a range of integrated drives which form the perfect solution for those seeking an electric alternative to simple movement and positioning tasks to that of traditional electric drive systems that are usually complex and over-complicated.

• Includes IO-Link and digital I/O (DIO), removing the need for software in your operation. This design is simply based on "plug and work"
• The plug and work principle provides easy commissioning, all parameters are manually adjustable directly on the actuator - no software required
• Each drive has been designed for simple movement between two end positions
• Provides users with a complete solution with an integrated actuator, motor and servo driver
• Designed for swivel tasks, also applications that involve high loads
• Has a hollow shaft for the integrated duct for cables and hoses
• Standardised mounting interface which is for the direct connection to the electric mini slides EGSL, EGSC and EGSS
• Integrated end positioning sensing
• Products of the Simplified Motion Series: does not need any external servo drive or any control cabinet for the installation

• Integrated - The integrated electronics in the drive are the core of the Simplified Motion Series
• Simple - For commissioning, simply set all relevant parameters directly on the drive (Speed and force, reference end position and cushioning, manual operation)
• Standardised - Electrical connection via M12 plug design (Power 4 pin: power supply for the motor, Logic 8 pin control signal, sensor signal and power for the integrated electronics)
• Connected - Use of extended functions possible via IO-Link (Motion parameters can be set remotely, copy and backup function for transferring parameters and read function for extended process parameters)
