4 Product overview
4.1 Function
The axis converts the rotary motion of the mounted motor into a linear motion of
the slide. The screw drive converts the torque of the motor into a feed force. The
linear movement of the slide is precisely guided by the guide. Sensors enable the
monitoring of end positions, reference position and intermediate position.
