"Electronic counterweight" function
A hanging (suspended) axis can almost be completely prevented from dropping (sagging)
using the "electronic counterweight" function.
The electronic counterweight prevents axes with a weight load from sagging when the
closed-loop control is switched on. After releasing the brake, the constant counterweight
torque maintains the position of the vertical axis.
