Festo EPCS-BS Series Micro Linear Actuator, 150mm Stroke Length, 100% Duty Cycle - EPCS-BS-45-150-3P-A-ST-M-H1-PLK-AA, Numeric Part Number:8118277


This micro linear actuator provides precise linear motion for automated systems and laboratory setups. It uses a stepper-driven motor to deliver controlled positioning over a 150mm travel length, suited to continuous operation in industrial and electronic assemblies. The unit is Compact and low-profile, designed to integrate with motion control architectures where repeatable, bidirectional movement is required.

Features and Benefits:


• 100% duty cycle for continuous operation without downtime
• Stepper motor technology enabling accurate open-loop positioning
• Plain bearing guide for compact, low-friction travel
• 74 mm/s maximum speed for responsive actuation performance
• Rated to operate up to 50°C for elevated ambient environments
• IP40 enclosure providing Basic protection in controlled interiors

Applications


• Suitable for pick-and-place heads in electronics assembly
• Ideal for precision adjustment in optical alignment rigs
• Used for positioning stages in test and measurement equipment
• Can be used for feed mechanisms in small automation cells
• Suitable for OEM integration where low-profile actuation is required

What load environments is it intended for?


It is designed for applications where smooth guided movement is required rather than heavy load-bearing

the plain bearing guide prioritises compactness and low friction for light-to-moderate forces.

How should it be cooled if used continuously?


Continuous duty operation at elevated ambient temperatures benefits from forced convection or panel ventilation to maintain enclosure temperature below the 50°C maximum operating limit.

What protection does the enclosure provide on a shop floor?


The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and is suitable for indoor, controlled environments but not for dust-laden or wet conditions.

Is it suitable for precise stepwise motion control?


Yes, the stepper motor technology supports repeatable stepwise positioning and is appropriate for open-loop control schemes in automation tasks.
