The document outlines specifications for segmented and one-piece stator covers used in HIWIN LMFA and LMFP linear motor series. Segmented covers are available in various lengths, while one-piece covers are customized to the stator track length and require end block sets for fixation. Magnetic attraction ensures secure placement.
HIWIN offers precision coolers for both forcer and stator components of linear motors, enhancing thermal decoupling and efficiency. This is crucial for precision machining applications.
The precision cooler is integrated into the cooling circuit, optimizing thermal decoupling and cooling efficiency. It is essential for reducing coil temperatures and improving motor efficiency.
Stator cooling prevents heat dissipation to the application, maintaining stable temperature levels. The standard variant uses two identical end blocks for coolant distribution, while the special variant uses different end blocks for a single coolant flow, suitable for stators up to 2,000 mm.
Cooling profiles serve as coolant lines between end blocks, effectively dissipating heat. They are available in different lengths and can be connected to match the stator track length. The LMFC3-P series uses a single coolant line, while the LMFC5-P and LMFC6-P series use two parallel lines for higher power motors.
The document details the arrangement and specifications of cooling profiles for linear motors, specifically for sizes LMFC3, LMFC4, LMFC5, and LMFC6. Each cooling profile requires multiple strands to complete the cooling circuit, with LMFC3/4 needing two strands and LMFC5/6 needing three strands. Tables provide dimensions and article numbers for ordering.
Hall sensors are available in both analogue and digital versions for linear motors. Analogue sensors provide a sin/cos output, while digital sensors offer three square signals offset by 120 degrees. Article numbers for different motor models are listed.
Extension cables for various linear motors (LMSA, LMFA, LMC) are specified, including details on cross-section, plug type, and available lengths. Different chainflex models are recommended based on motor type and application.

HIWIN LMC linear motors 3.1 Special characteristics of the LMC linear motors The HIWIN LMC synchronous linear motors are the dynamic sprinters of linear actuators. With the light, ironless forcer and the U-shaped design of the stators with opposing magnets, no cogging torques occur between forcers and stators, and no magnetic forces are introduced into the guiding system. The linear motors in the LMC series thus achieve extremely high synchronism and high acceleration due to the minimal forcer mass. The LMC linear motors are optionally available as a vacuum system. The benefits of the LMC linear...
