2 Function and application
A toothed belt on a drive hollow shaft 3 converts the rotation of a motor into a linear movement. The
slide 7 then moves backwards and forwards.
The slide is bearing mounted. The reference position of the slide can be detected using proximity
sensors in the slots aJ.
The EGC-...-TB-KF toothed belt axis is intended to be used to quickly
position effective loads with large dimensions. It is approved for
slide operating mode.
The EGC-...-TB-KF and EGC-HD-...-TB are not approved for operating
conditions in which vegetable water-soluble greases or oils could
penetrate into the axis.
Fig. 2
Note
The EGC toothed belt axis is not braked: If the input torque is not applied, the slide is
freely movable.
Generally self-locking of the complete system can be achieved with motors with an
integrated spring-loaded holding brake or with high self-braking torque (e.g. for vertical
operation).
� Please select the corresponding motors from our catalogue
(� www.festo.com/catalogue).
You will then be operating a mated pair, which are especially adapted to each other.
When using other motors:
� Observe the limit values for forces, torques and speeds
(� 12 Technical data and 13 Characteristic curves).
3 Transport and storage
� Take the product's weight into account. Depending on the version, the EGC can weigh up to 350 kg.
For transport, the transport belts must be positioned at the permissible support distances
(support distances � 13 Characteristic curves).
� Ensure the following storage conditions:
– 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.

Warning
Injury to people and material damage!
If there is a power failure or if the toothed belt
breaks, the work load will slide down.
� Make sure that you only use motors with an
integrated spring-loaded holding brake. Fig. 5
� 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).

Effective loads with own guide:
� Adjust the guides of the effective load and of the EGC so that they are exactly parallel.
You will then avoid overloading the guide and increased wear.
With hard and stiff effective loads (e.g. steel):
Note
If the aluminium slide becomes bent against a curved
effective load, the service life of the guide will be re
duced.
� Make sure that the mounting surface of the
effective loads is even to within t�=�0.01 mm.
If additional slides are used, possible differences in
height must be compensated for. Fig. 8
t
Effective loads projecting in the longitudinal direction of the slide:
� Make sure that the effective load does not strike against the
motor.

5.1.3 Installing external accessories
To protect the end positions against uncontrolled overrunning:
� Check whether proximity sensors are required (hardware limit switches).
If proximity sensors are used as limit switches:
� Preferably use proximity switches with normally-closed function.
These will protect an EGC with a fractured proximity switch cable from overrunning the end position.
If proximity switches are used as reference switches:
� Use proximity switches that correspond to the input of the controller being used.
� Use inductive proximity switches with switch lug aE (� assembly instructions of the accessory
used).

Tab. 4
� Avoid external influence caused by magnetic or ferrite parts in the vicinity of the proximity switches
(minimum distance of 10 mm to the slot nuts).
To protect the end positions:
� Use emergency buffer or shock absorber (� Assembly instructions of the accessory used).
To avoid contamination:
� Use slot covers in all unused grooves.

6 Commissioning
Warning
Moving masses can cause personal injury or dam
age to material items (crushing).
� Make sure that, in the positioning range
– nobody can place his/her hand in the path
of the moving components (e.g. through a
protective guard),
– there are no foreign objects.
It should not be possible to touch the EGC until
the mass has come to a complete standstill.
Fig. 10
Note
Incorrect specification values of the braking ramp in STOP statuses
(e.g. EMERGENCY OFF, Quick Stop) result in an overloading of the linear axis and can
destroy it or drastically reduce the service life.
� Check the settings for all braking ramps in your controller or the higher-order control
system (deceleration values and jerk).
� Taking the travel speed, moving mass and mounting position into account, make
sure that the delay values (brake delay and time delays) are set in such a way that
the maximum actuation moment or feed force of the linear axis used is not ex
ceeded.
� Use the “PositioningDrives” design software to design the linear axis
(� www.festo.com).
Note
Block-shaped acceleration profiles (without smoothing) cause high peaks in the drive
force that can lead to overloading of the drive. In addition, positions outside the per
missible range may occur as a result of overswing effects. A jolt-limited acceleration
specification reduces vibrations in the entire system and has a positive effect on stress
in the mechanical system.
� Check which closed-loop controller settings can be adapted (e.g. jerk limitation,
smoothing of the acceleration profile).
Note
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.

1. Start check travel with low dynamic response.
In spite of equal control, motors of the same design sometimes turn in the opposite direction due to
different wiring.
2. Start homing in accordance with the operating instructions for your motor drive system with low
dynamic response to the reference switch.
The homing run may only take place toward the reference switch.
3. Start a test run with low dynamic response.
4. Check whether the EGC fulfils the following conditions:
– The slide runs through the complete intended positioning cycle.
– The slide stops as soon as it reaches a limit switch.
7 Operation
Warning
Moving masses can cause personal injury or damage to material items (crushing).
� Make sure that, in the positioning range
– nobody can place his/her hand in the path of the moving components
(e.g. through protective guards)
– there are no foreign objects.
It should not be possible to grasp the EGC until the mass has come to complete rest.
Note
The reference position is lost when the motor is dis
mounted (e.g. turning of the motor).
� Start homing (� 6 Commissioning) in order to de
termine the new reference position.
Fig. 11
EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB
Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English 13
8 Maintenance and care
Warning
Uncontrolled moving masses can cause injury to people or damage to property (squeez
ing). 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.
� Switch off the controller for all maintenance work on the EGC and secure it to pre
vent it from being restarted unintentionally.
On cleaning and maintenance:
� If required, clean the guide axis with a soft cloth. All media gentle to the material may be used as
cleaning agents.
Note
The lubrication interval Sint is dependent on the product load.
� Cut the lubrication interval Sint (� Fig. 12) in half if the following situations are
present:
– dusty and dirty environment
– nominal strokes 2000 mm
– at speeds 2 m/s
– positioning profile Z delta operation (frequent acceleration and braking)
– ambient temperatures 40 °C
– product has been in operation for 3 years.
If several situations occur simultaneously, the lubrication interval must be divided by
four.
� Grease the following components:
Bearing guide Guide rail
Lubricating point (� Fig. 1) Relubrication opening aB Surface 5

14 Festo – EGC-TB-KF, EGC-HD-TB – 2017-11c English
For greasing the bearing guide (not possible for
EGC-...-GP/GQ):
1. Calculate the load comparison factor fv with
the aid of the formula for combined loads
(� 12 Technical data) and determine the lub
ricating interval Sint from it (� Fig. 12).
Fig. 12

2. Grease the bearing guide on both sides at all
relubrication openings�aB.
3. Move the slide over the complete travel dis
tance during lubrication in order to distribute
the grease equally inside.

9 Repair
Note
Retensioning of the toothed belt reduces its service life considerably. In addition, the
technical data, e.g. the feed constant, change.
� Make sure that the toothed belt is not retensioned.
The toothed belt is pretensioned so that it does not have to be retensioned during
its service life.
� 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:
