Caution
When tightening the rod end, you must secure the push rod against twisting using a hexagon wrench, otherwise the thread of the push rod may be damaged!
The static part of the winderGLIDE must be mounted to the machine frame e.g by means of the spherical rod end on the gearbox or the flange at the end of the spindle housing. The moving rod end is mounted to the winding stand. The BKS.D.3 was designed for horizontal mounting positions.

Functional Description

The FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 is a dedicated actuator for the use in unwind and rewind stations.
The stepper motor equipped drive is powerful and simple in its application. The used technology is clean. Specially when used in the food and pharmaceutical packaging industry the FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 has huge advantages compared to hydraulic drives. The FMS-winderGLIDE is designed around an accurate spindle and ball screw which makes the devise very precise. The easily accessible connector and its pacesaving design make the FMS-actuator very suitable for upgrading existing installations.
