Linear axes and axis systems are used in many ranges of industry to transport or position components. HIWIN offers linear axes with toothed belt drive for applications with high dynamics and speed. Thanks to HIWIN's modular system, the belt axes can be bendably combined into double axes and multi-axis systems depending on requirements. HIWIN linear axes with ballscrews are available for applications that require high feed forces and precision. HIWIN linear axes with linear motor drive fulfil the highest requirements in terms of dynamics, precision and synchronisation.

Our precision axes and precision systems are labelled with the highest degree of precision. Repeat accuracies of ±0.05 um are achieved with high-resolution displacement measurement. This high precision makes our systems suitable for applications in the semiconductor industry as well as in medical and measurement technology. Standardised types are available, which we can customise to your requirements on a modular basis. The advantages: reduced development times, fast quotations and short delivery times.

The Wafer Aligner HPA reliably aligns transparent, translucent and opaque wafers. Whether the standard, warpage or edge contact process is used, the new models align wafers with a diameter of 2 inches up to 12 inches in just a few seconds. Three moving HIWIN axes with spindle drive are used here for wafer centring and angular alignment. Depending on the aligner model, an X-Y unit or an X-Z unit is used. Due to its compact design, the HPA series is also ideal for integration into demanding system concepts. Ideal for applications in the semiconductor industry, the Wafer Aligner of the HPA series is suitable for clean room class ISO 3.

HIWIN rotary tables are ready-to-install rotary axes consisting of a torque motor, bearings, motor housing and distance measuring system. The rotary tables are backlash-free direct drives and are always used when classic motor-gearbox combinations reach their limits. The rotary tables are characterised by constant torque, rigid load coupling and maximum dynamics, especially with high loads. The rotary tables work highly efficiently and extremely quietly thanks to their high efficiency and the absence of a gearbox.

The highly dynamic AC synchronous servo motors deliver high torques throughout the entire speed range. Thanks to their minimal mass moment of inertia, they are also suitable for demanding dynamic drive tasks, such as high-frequency reversing operation. The special stator-rotor design achieves a very low torque ripple and high load density in a compact design.

Linear guideways enable linear movement with the help of rolling elements. The balls or rollers running between the block and profile rail enable endless guidance with unlimited stroke and maximum precision. Compared to a conventional sliding guide, the friction coefficient is only one fiftieth due to the relatively small contact surface of the rolling elements. The high efficiency and zero backlash make the linear guides suitable for a wide range of applications - from machine tools and the printing and packaging industry to laser machining and medical technology. We offer you a large selection of ball guides, roller guides, miniature guides and linear guides with an integrated distance measuring system and the appropriate accessories.

Ballscrews, also known as ball bearing screws or recirculating ballscrews, are used in a wide range of applications across virtually all areas of industry. They convert rotary motion into linear motion. Between the shaft, more precisely the threaded shaft, and the nut, the balls roll infinitely via a ball recirculation system, guaranteeing frictionless motion for your application. HIWIN offers a huge selection of spindle drives / drive spindles along with matching accessories.

The HIWIN ball spline, also known as a ball spline shaft, is an anti-rotation shaft guide consisting mainly of a nut filled with steel balls and a shaft with several longitudinal grooves arranged in pairs. The steel balls roll in the tracks between the nut and shaft in a closed circuit and allow the nut to move along the shaft with low friction and high precision. The angular contact between the steel balls and the track in the nut and shaft enables radial loads and torques to be absorbed.

DATORKER® strain wave gears feature high precision, high efficiency, high torsional stiffness and low starting torques. They are widely used in robotics, automation technology, semiconductor technology, machine tools and many other industries.

The vector-controlled, fully digital servo drives are specially matched to the HIWIN motors. Servo drives ED1 with safety function STO are used for the servo motors of the EM1 series, as well as for linear and torque motors. Different versions and performance classes are available depending on the area of application. Ready-assembled motor and encoder cables as well as the freely available HIWIN commissioning software are available for easy installation and commissioning.

Torque motors are high-pole synchronous motors and do not require a downstream gearbox to reduce speed and increase torque. Due to their very rigid load coupling, the direct drives are used in high-precision rotary axes and applications with rapid load changes. The power transmission between the drive and output side is contactless and there are no mechanical components in the drive train. The result is a wear-free and maintenance-free drive with maximum efficiency. We also offer torque motors with liquid cooling so that no additional process heat is introduced in the machine tool sector. CAD data is available for download.

Alongside complete linear motor axes and linear motor axis systems, HIWIN also offers individual linear motor components for customised axis design. The linear motors consist of the primary part (forcer) with motor windings, and magnet tracks (stators) with permanent magnets. By combining several stators, travel distances of any length can be created. Similarly, several forcers can be operated on one linear motor axis. These can either be independently controlled on the axis, or be connected in parallel to increase feed power.

The HIWIN product portfolio contains bearings for an extremely wide range of applications. To provide a simple bearing arrangement for ballscrews, HIWIN offers ready-to-install flange bearing and pillow block units in fixed and supported bearing versions. Angular contact ball bearings are also available for mounting in a customer-specific housing. Crossed roller bearings can be used in applications requiring a particularly compact bearing arrangement with high moment rigidity.

Displacement measuring systems from the HIWIN MAGIC series are optimised for displacement measurement in linear movements, especially in our linear motor axes and on our linear guideways from the CG series. They are insensitive to oil, dirt, vibration and shock and are therefore particularly suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. The robust housing is electrically shielded and the signals are output in real time. In addition to the separate components such as the encoder and the magnetic scale, we also offer a linear guideway with an integrated distance measuring system in the form of our PG linear guideway.
