Function

A rotating ball screw converts the rotation of a motor into straight-line motion. As a result, the slide
moves backwards and forwards. The slide is ball bearing guided. The reference position of the slide can
be queried by means of a proximity sensor (è 5.1.3 Mount accessories).

Transport

Note
Unexpected movement of components. The axis is non-braking. Without input torque,
the slide is freely movable.
• Secure slide during transport.
• Take product weight into account (è 12 Technical data).
• Comply with maximum permitted support spacing when attaching transportation aids
(è 13 Characteristic curves).

Installation, mechanical

Requirements
• Do not modify the screws and threaded pins.
Exception: Direct request to make changes in these operating instructions.
• Select the motor and motor attachment kit from the Festo cata­
logue (è www.festo.com/catalogue).
When using other motors, observe the limit values for forces,
torques and speeds (è 12 Technical data).
• When mounting the motor: Follow the mounting instructions for
the mounting attachment kit.
• Connect motor cables only after the axis is mounted.
Note
The reference position is lost when the motor is dismantled (e.g. when turning the mo­
tor around).
• Start homing (è 6 Commissioning).
