HIWIN GmbH
About us
At HIWIN, we create and guide motion. With our products and our mindset. Specialising in standardised and customer-specific drive technology products, we have made it our mission to find the right and most efficient way to achieve movement. Worldwide. From medical technology to photovoltaics, from machine tools to automotive and batteries: our product portfolio includes ball screws, profile rail guides, linear axes, linear motors and drive amplifiers as well as complete positioning and motion systems. With a passion for technology and attention to detail, we combine mechanics and electronics for your motion solution. Everything from a single source. We have production sites in Germany, Europe and all over the world. Movement is OUR passion.
Products & services
Linear axes & linear axis systems
Transporting and positioning components with precise and dynamic linear movements. We offer a wide selection of linear axes and linear axis systems with belt, spindle, rack and pinion, or linear motor drives. Some of our linear axes are also certified for use in ISO Class 2 or Class 4 cleanrooms. Thanks to their modular design, you can easily customize the linear axes yourself using available options in our configurator and combine them into multi-axis systems. We also offer extended customization options if required. And if the right linear unit isn't among our standard offerings, we'll gladly develop a solution tailored to your specific needs. Contact us!
Rotary Tables
Rotation right to the point: Ready-to-install rotary axes with backlash-free direct drives.
Linear guideways
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
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.
Electric actuator
Extremely flexible, powerful and compact, our electric actuators are specially designed for industrial applications. The linear drives are based on a heavy-duty, peeled ballscrew and are equipped with a robust aluminium profile with versatile end/drive blocks and grooves integrated into the profile. This enables simple, direct and flexible mounting. When it comes to the motor connection, you can choose between an inline and a parallel connection. With a stroke that can be freely selected in millimetre steps and a wide range of accessories, you can customise the electric actuators directly in our product configurator. CAD data and technical drawings are also available for download there.
