HIWIN Corporation linear motors are direct drive, plug and play solutions. Linear motors are capable of fast accelerations and high speeds, while providing unmatched 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 together to form cross tables or even gantry systems.

Components
LMSA Series
HIWIN synchronous linear motors LMSA are the power packs of linear drives. They are especially distinguished by very high power density and minimum cogging force. The three-phase motors are composed of a primary part (forcer) with a coiled stack of sheets and a secondary part with permanent magnets (stators). With the combination of several stators, many stroke combinations are possible.

- Excellent acceleration
- Low cogging
- Many stroke lengths
- Several forcers possible on one stator
- Peak force 2850 N
LMC Series
HIWIN synchronous linear motors LMC are the born sprinters. They are light, extremely dynamic. This is due to their coreless primary part (forcer) with epoxy cast coils, it needs to move very little of its own weight. The secondary part is composed of a U-shaped stator made of permanent magnets.
