The ELGA is available as an individual axis or as a complete solution for standard handling systems.
The internal guide protects the ELGA when the going gets tough. The stainless steel cover band, its virtually gap-free design and guide pulley in the slide provide protection on the outside and inside, enabling it to be used in cleanrooms.
The ELGA and the electric axis series EGC complement one another perfectly. The ELGA can be used wherever there is a need for protected or highperformance axes. And the EGC can be used wherever a high level of rigidity and cost effectiveness are essential. This provides you with the correct linear motion in all applications. Added bonus: identical interfaces for slide, aluminium profile and motor.
• Protected: insensitive to harsh ambient conditions
• Clean: virtually no particle emissions for use in cleanrooms
• Perfect fit: different guide variants
• Powerful: maximum feed force and maximum service life
• Efficient: optimally configured with PositioningDrives
Slide guide type: recirculating ball bearing guide -KF for absorbing high lateral forces and torques, even during motion.
Sample application: Simple and flexible double pick & place solution.

Simplified Motion Series consists of different electromechanical components together with a simple and application-optimised combination of motor and servo drives, the so-called integrated drive. This solution does not require an external servo drive. The electric alternative for very simple movement and positioning tasks does not require the usual commissioning process that is needed for traditional electric drive systems, which can often be quite complex.

Eneco - Green light for green electricity and steamRead moreEneco Bio Golden Raand, located in the port area of Delfzijl, converts biomass into green electricity and green steam. Each year, the plant processes approximately 300,000 tons of waste wood from the Netherlands and neighboring countries. As part of Eneco’s climate ambitions, a project began in 2022 to replace the existing fluorescent lighting in and around the boiler room. The project was carried out under the supervision of itsme. “Two factors were important in this process: the cost, of course, but also the level of service.”
