2. Basic safety notices
This chapter serves to ensure the safety of everyone working with HM-S and HT-S linear axes and those who assemble,
install, operate, maintain or disassemble them. Non-compliance with the following information results in dangerous
working conditions.
WARNING!
2.1 Intended use
The HM-S and HT-S linear axes combine guiding and drive functions in the one compact unit. They are designed for the
precise positioning in terms of time and location of fixed mounted loads within an automated system. It is specifically ideal
for applications requiring high precision.
In the case of vertical assembly, a suitable clamping or braking device must be provided in order to prevent unintended
lowering of the load.
All HM-S and HT-S linear axes may only be used for the intended purpose as described.
All HM-S and HT-S linear axis sizes are subject to performance limits (see catalogue „Linear Axes and Axis Systems
HX”). These performance limits may not be exceeded during operations.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes must not be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes may only be used and operated indoors.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes form part of a complete system. Personal safety must therefore be safeguarded beyond the
concept for this complete system.
Proper use of the HM-S and HT-S linear axes includes observing the assembly instructions and following the mainte-
nance and repair specifications.
Use of the HM-S and HT-S linear axes for any other purpose shall be considered improper use.
The HM-S and HT-S linear axes are delivered as a system (guiding/drive). Therefore observe the whole documentation for this
system. The provided documentation may vary depending on the linear axis type.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
HM-S and HT-S linear axes must not be operated:
outdoors
in potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3 Conversions and modifications
Conversions or modifications to the HM-S and HT-S linear axes are not permitted!
2.4 Residual risks
During normal operation, there are no residual risks associated with the HM-S and HT-S linear axes because they form part of
the complete system and the operator must safeguard personal safety beyond the concept for this complete system. Warn-
ings about risks that may arise during maintenance and repair work are provided in the relevant sections.

Ballscrew linear axes combine guiding and drive functions in the one compact unit. The forces and torques generated by the
moving load are transferred through the carriages into the linear guideway. The linear guideway also executes precise linear
movements with two blocks per carriage. The movements themselves are executed over a ballscrew whose spindle is driven
by an electric motor. The ballscrew converts the motor’s rotations into linear motion of the nut secured firmly to the carriage.

3.2.1 Field of application
HIWIN linear tables HT-S with ballscrew drive are particularly suitable for applications in which large loads need to be moved
with high precision. The integrated HIWIN ballscrews exhibit high lead accuracy and rigidity for precise positioning. Each size
comes with various spindle leads for the optimal solution to feed force and dynamic response requirements. Thanks to up to
four moving spindle supports per side, the method can be realised at full speed, even over long strokes.

4.1 Stroke length
The stroke lengths for the linear axes can be set to the millimetre.
The maximum stroke lengths depending on the series and size are listed in Table 4.1.
Please bear in mind that the maximum possible stroke is shorter with the following options:
Longer carriages (HM-S: carriage type L)
Second carriage (HM-S)
Type with cover strip (owing to required cover strip deflections)
If necessary, spindle supports

The reserve stroke Lrequals the distance that can be travelled in addition to the stroke on both sides of the end positions
(stroke 0, stroke max) before the carriage reaches the mechanical end position (mechanical 0) at the installed dampers. The
reserve stroke for each axis size can be found in the catalogue„Linear Axes and Axis Systems HX“.

4.2 Cover
An optional steel cover strip is available for all linear axis and double axis sizes. This cover strip is held in place with mag-
netic strips to prevent contaminants from entering the axis’s interior. Bear in mind that the carriage is longer on axes with
cover strip because of the required cover strip deflection.
4.3 Carriage
There are two carriage types available for the HM-S linear axis (carriage type S and L). The linear tables HT-S are equipped
with the carriage type S as standard. The carriages are equipped with mounting threads for mounting the imposed load.
These have additional counterbores that can take centring sleeves.
Fig. 4.2 Carriage with mounting threads
The typical applications for each of the linear modules’ carriage lengths are:
Short carriage (S)
For individual axes
Long carriage (L)
For very high torques (My, Mz)
For use in gantry systems (primarily for X-axis)
The optional cover strip cannot be retrofitted.
NOTE
4.4 Limit switches
The linear axes feature two inductive PNP or proximity switches that signal the end positions of the travel distance. The limit
switch cables can be routed either directly to the interface or into the mounting groove. The limit switches are available as
N/C or N/O contacts, with or without plug.

4.5 Positioning measuring system
If the accuracy of the linear axis, delivered through the drive element and the encoder signal of the servo drive, is not
sufficient for the application, a direct positioning measuring system can be used to increase positioning accuracy and
repeatability. The positioning measuring system is an external component located on the side of the carriage and enables
a repeatability of ±0.01 mm for spindle axes. The encoder housing is electrically shielded. The output signals can be either
analogue or digital.
The HIWIN-MAGIC positioning measuring system consists of the encoder (Fig. 4.4) and the magnetic scale (Fig. 4.5) as the
measurement standard. It is assembled prior to delivery.

Fig. 4.4 MAGIC encoder Fig. 4.5 MAGIC magnetic scale
The measuring scale of the magnetic measuring systems may not be subjected to any strong magnetic fields
(keep it well away from permanent magnets!). Strong shocks (e.g. hammer blows) can also damage the mag-
netization of the measuring scale. The system is not suitable for environments where there is magnetic dust
(e.g. graphite dust). These things can falsify the encoder signal or damage the positioning measuring system.

4.5.2 Formats and outputs of the MAGIC measuring system (analogue)
Electrical signals after the differential input of the downstream electronic components. The sinus/cosinus interface of HIWIN
MAGIC is strictly based on the Siemens specifications. The period length of the sinus output signal is 1 mm. The period
length of the reference signal is 1mm.
