Linear motor systems, Stages

Linear motor units integrate linear guides, motors, and sensors within a ready-made aluminum frame. Linear motors are capable of rapid accelerations and high speeds while offering unparalleled positioning accuracy. HIWIN offers standardized linear motor models, but customer-specific customizable options are also available. The units are supplied as complete solutions, which can include servo drives for connection to systems such as EtherCAT, upon request. Alternatively, you can choose a servo drive from another manufacturer, and we will provide the necessary linear motor parameters for commissioning.

LMSSA

The HIWIN SSA single-axis linear motor unit offers easy installation, high precision, and speed, as well as the benefits of a linear motor, such as long stroke lengths, high dynamics, and a wear-free structure. The SSA series is suitable for automation industry applications requiring high acceleration and deceleration, fast movement, and multiple moving carriages to increase productivity.

Features:

  • Maximum speed: 5 m/s
  • Maximum acceleration: 10 G
  • Travel distance: 100–2,700 mm
  • Repeatability: +/- 1 µm
  • Rated torque for standard models: 50–750 N, peak torque: 145–2,048 N
  • Wide encoder selection
  • Single and dual carriage models
  • Short delivery times

NPS

The NPS series linear motor units are Hiwin’s most precise linear motion units. As the name suggests, they achieve nano-precision, with the smallest incremental movement being 100 nm. Their compact size allows them to fit into tight spaces, enabling the reduction of overall solution size. Precise optical encoders are available in both analog and digital formats. The NPS series is ideal for applications such as micro sensors and other solutions requiring extremely high precision.

Features:

  • Maximum speed: 0.2 m/s
  • Maximum acceleration: 2 m/s²
  • Absolute accuracy: +/- 3 µm
  • Bidirectional repeatability: +/- 0.2 µm
  • Travel distance: 50–100 mm

LMX2E-C

The Hiwin LMX2E-C linear motor units feature brushless linear motors, making them ideal for applications requiring synchronization and smooth movement, such as scanning applications. The LMX2E-C unit is low-profile and precise, perfect for short XY movements. The linear motor units integrate incremental optical encoders.

Features:

  • Maximum acceleration: 50 m/s²
  • Maximum speed: 5 m/s
  • Smooth movement (brushless motor)
  • Extremely rigid aluminum structure
  • Easy assembly
  • Suitable for cleanroom environments
