Hiwin Corporation linear motors

Hiwin Corporation linear motors are direct drive, plug and play solutions. Linear motors are capable of fast accelerations and high speeds, while providing precision and accuracy. Hiwin offers standardized linear motor designs but customizable options are available. Aside from single-axis linear motors, these stages can be combined to form cross tables or even gantry systems. Hiwin rotary tables are ready-to-install rotary axes consisting of a torque motor, bearing, motor housing, and positioning measuring system. Hiwin rotary tables are zero-backlash, extremely rigid, optimized for high torques, have robust dynamics and are especially well suited for tasks in a wide range of automation processes. Their lack of gear needed results in high efficiency and a quiet operation. Various sizes in diameter and height are available with the option to add a servo drive for a complete plug and play solution.

Linear axes and multi-axis systems for positioning tasks in automation. Linear guideways provide linear motion by re-circulating rolling elements between a profiled rail and a bearing block. The coefficient of friction on a linear guideway is only 1/50 compared to a traditional slide and they can take loads in all directions. With these features, a linear guideway can achieve high precision and greatly enhanced moving accuracy. Hiwin Corporation offers multiple linear guideway series, each featuring different options for sizes, loading capabilities, accuracies, and more. The company’s strain wave gearing system has three basic components: a wave generator, a flex spline, and a circular spline. The elliptical shape of the wave generator, rotating against the thin, tooth lined flex spline, drives or is driven by the rigid circular spline which has more teeth than the flex spline. The result is a gear system that will reduce speed and increase torque. The unique properties of the strain wave gearing system allows it to achieve much higher gear ratios than other gear reduction solutions in a more compact space.
