Sizing of a HIWIN Linear Actuator
Step 1: Determine the load and speed
Consider the operating environment, compare the specifications of various types of Hiwin Linear Actuators and
select the most appropriate model.
Step 2: Stroke and retracted length sizing
Consider the dimensions of the operating area and select the appropriate actuator.
Step 3: Duty cycle
Duty cycles should not exceed 10%. If the duty cycle exceeds 10%, the life of the actuator can be reduced. Users
should make sure that no torsion or impact forces are acting upon the actuator.
Step 4: Controller sizing
The controller selection should be made according to the power requirements of the actuator. Other considerations
include the number of axes, type of limit switches and the series of keypad.
