Festo Introduces ELGD, a New Generation of Electric Actuator for Linear Applications
Innovative Electromechanical Actuators from Festo

Festo introduces its newest generation of electrical Cartesian-handling-system mechanical axes. The ELGD-TB tooth belt actuators, and ELGD-BS ball screw actuators, are based on an innovative design. Festo inlaid the bearings into the aluminum extrusion and extended bearings to the full width of the axis. This design enhancement enables high loads in a compact footprint. Machine builders can pack even more powerful tooth belt or ball screw axes in smaller footprint systems to achieve excellent feed forces and acceleration profiles.

The integrated bearing design also enabled them to develop the lower profile ELGD-WD (wide actuator) for reduced force applications. This low-profile ELGD is 30% lighter than larger units while its rigidity and guide load capacity are similar.
