The EGC-HD is the new, heavy-duty electric axis from Festo, which is used for handling and transport tasks involving heavy loads. Feed and transport are the two main applications of the axis, especially in special machine manufacturing and the packaging industry. It can be used as a stand-alone or in multi-axis systems. The axis has a symmetrical design, is highly functional and is characterized by easy handling. The large profile has a rigidity-optimized cross-section. The color blue stands for operating elements; the blue cap, e.g., can be removed for easy replacement of the toothed belt.
