Festo EPCS-BS, 8118277 Micro Linear Actuator, 74mm/s, 150 mm

This micro linear actuator provides precise linear motion for automated systems and laboratory setups. It uses a stepper-driven motor to deliver controlled positioning over a 150mm travel length, suited to continuous operation in industrial and electronic assemblies. The unit is Compact and low-profile, designed to integrate with motion control architectures where repeatable, bidirectional movement is required.

• 100% duty cycle for continuous operation without downtime
• Stepper motor technology enabling accurate open-loop positioning
• Plain bearing guide for compact, low-friction travel
• 74 mm/s maximum speed for responsive actuation performance
• Rated to operate up to 50°C for elevated ambient environments
• IP40 enclosure providing Basic protection in controlled interiors

• Suitable for pick-and-place heads in electronics assembly
• Ideal for precision adjustment in optical alignment rigs
• Used for positioning stages in test and measurement equipment
• Can be used for feed mechanisms in small automation cells
• Suitable for OEM integration where low-profile actuation is required

It is designed for applications where smooth guided movement is required rather than heavy load-bearing

Continuous duty operation at elevated ambient temperatures benefits from forced convection or panel ventilation to maintain enclosure temperature below the 50°C maximum operating limit.

The IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and is suitable for indoor, controlled environments but not for dust-laden or wet conditions.

Yes, the stepper motor technology supports repeatable stepwise positioning and is appropriate for open-loop control schemes in automation tasks.
