HIWIN
1.6 Linear Guideway Series PM
1.6.1 Properties of the linear guideway, series PMN
The HIWIN linear guideway of the PMN series is based on the proven MGN series.
Thanks to the optimised ball return in the plastic duct, the synchronous performance
and quiet running are improved and the weight is reduced by around 20 %. The Gothic
race profile absorbs loads in all directions and is particularly rigid and precise. Given
its compact and lightweight design, it is particularly suited to use in small devices.

1.6.3 Applications of the PM series
The PM series was developed for use in restricted spaces, e.g. in the semiconductor
industry, PCB population, medical technology, robot applications, measurement de-
vices, office automation and other sectors needing miniature guides.
