5 Product overview
5.1 Function
The axis converts the rotary motion of the mounted motor into a linear motion of
the slide. The torque of the motor is transmitted to the slide by the toothed belt
drive (TB). The linear movement of the slide is precisely guided by the guide.
Sensors and displacement measuring system enable the monitoring of end posi­
tions, reference position and intermediate position.
