Linear axes and multi-axis system accessories

With the HIWIN adapters for cross tables and multiaxis systems, two or more axes can be flexibly combined with each other. This way individual multiaxis systems can be designed quickly and easily. Forces and torques are safely transmitted due to force and form closure. Centering sleeves ensure an exact and reproducible connection.

Clamping profiles are devices for installing the linear axis to the machine frame from above. The clamping profiles can be swivelled into the sides of the axis’ profile groove. Sets are available with four clamping profiles.

In relation to motor adaptation, the coupling housing serves as a connecting element between the belt drive axis or spindle drive axis and the motor adapter.

Backlash-free elastomer couplings are used to connect belt drive and spindle drive axes to the motor shaft. A clamping hub is required to fasten the vibration-damping couplings to the motor, whereas different hubs are needed to fasten the couplings to the axis, depending on the axis involved. If a belt drive axis is used, expansion hubs are ideal, whereas for spindle drive axes, clamping hubs are available. Between the two coupling elements, an elastomer insert ensures a backlash-free, fail-safe and damped connection.

Inductive proximity switches – available in either a normally closed or a normally open version – are provided with plugs as standard or can be ordered with an open cable end. The damping element is used to switch the limit switch in the two carriage end positions. It can be mounted on the left or right of the carriage.

Matching centring sleeves are inserted in the mounting holes of the carriage, enabling the adjacent structure to be aligned in a precise and reproducible manner. Sets containing 10 centring sleeves are available.

T nuts ensure the force-fit connection of the linear axis to the machine frame. Grooves on the side and the bottom of the axis profile provide flexible attachment options for swivelling in the T nuts. Sets containing 10 T nuts are available.

The journal can be clamped to each side of the drive wheel of the HM-B axis. It can be used to adapt the input drive, the output drive, the synchronous drive, the encoder attachment, etc.

Partitions for separating cables in the energy chain By default, the energy chain is equipped with a partition in every second chain link. Additional partitions are available in a set of 20.

Cover plate for closing off inputs and outputs which are not required on the linear axes with belt drive HM-B and HT-B and cantilever axes HC-B. Set including fasteners.
