Forming part of Festo's ELGS-TB range of products is this ELGS-TB-KF-60-500-ST-M-H1-PLK-AA toothed belt axis unit, the axis is durable, compact and cost-effective. Featuring a precise, load-bearing inslide guide that is equipped with lasting protection of the stainless-steel cover strip. Sometimes referred to as a mini slide unit, this product contains an integrated stepper motor that produces linear mechanical actuation with a toothed belt. This unit 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 axis is super easy to configure and can be put to work and be operational without the need for any software - further simplifying its use.

• All of the necessary electronic components are combined in the integrated drive
• There are two controls options integrated as standard, these are digital I/O and IO-Link
• The internal guide protects against external influences
• All parameters can be manually set directly on the drive, providing simplified commissioning (you don't need to be an expert to commission)

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)
