– Storage times should be kept to a minimum – cool, dry, shaded, corrosion-protected storage locations – no oils, greases or grease-dissolving vapours. In this way you ensure the performance of the toothed belt. Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
Only if the load limits are observed is it possible to operate the product in compliance with the rel evant safety regulations. Take the tolerance of the tightening torques into account. Unless otherwise specified, the tolerance is ±20 %. Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
For gantry applications, attention must also be paid to parallel alignment or product heights in alignment of the axes. Fig. 4 For additional information, contact your local Festo Service. Take the required support spacing into account (è 13 Characteristic curves).

Make sure that you only use motors with an Fig. 5 integrated spring-loaded holding brake. Check whether additional external safety measures against damage due to breaking of the toothed belt are required (e.g. toothed latches, moving bolts or emergency buffers).

If additional slides are used, possible differences in height must be compensated for. Fig. 8 Effective loads projecting in the longitudinal direction of the slide: Make sure that the effective load does not strike against the motor. Fig. 9 Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
(minimum distance of 10 mm to the slot nuts). To protect the end positions: Use emergency buffer or shock absorber (è Assembly instructions of the accessory used). To avoid contamination: Use slot covers in all unused grooves. Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
The elasticity of the toothed belt delays the acceleration behaviour of the EGC and res ults in larger accelerations than are set on the controller (spring effect). Take into account possible deviations from the acceleration set at the controller. Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
The reference position is lost when the motor is dis mounted (e.g. turning of the motor). Start homing (è 6 Commissioning) in order to de termine the new reference position. Fig. 11 Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
If a toothed belt breaks in combination with a vertically or diagonally installed EGC, the work mass will fall down. In case of signs of wear, return the EGC to Festo for repairs. Controller signals can cause the EGC to make unintended movements.
Recommendation: Send the EGC to our repair service. This way the fine tuning and tests that are required will be taken into particular consideration. Information about spare parts and auxiliary means can be found at: (è www.festo.com/spareparts). Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English...
