Disposal
Products need to be disposed according to the normal recycling process in accordance with laws and
regulations.
Warning! Injury and material damage if not correctly disposed of!
If the torque motor or related components (especially the rotor with strong magnets) are not handled
correctly, it may cause personal injury, death or property damage.
Please ensure that the torque motor and related components are disposed of correctly.
Appropriate disposal process:
The permanent magnets in the rotor assembly must be completely demagnetized.
The components to be recycled need to be disassembled:
–
Electronic waste (e.g. encoder components, temperature control modules, etc.)
–
Electrical waste (e.g. stator, cables, etc.)
–
Scrap metal alloys (classified by metal)
–
Insulation material
No mixing with solvents, cold cleaning agents, or residue of paint
9.2.1
Disposal of rotors
Rotors with permanent magnets must be disposed after a specific demagnetization treatment to avoid the
danger of subsequent disposal. It is recommended to be disposed of by a professional recycling company.
After disassembling the motor, the rotor must be separately placed in a safe package.
Rotor demagnetization steps:
It needs to be placed in a dedicated non-magnetic oven for baking, and the rotor is placed on a strong and heat-
resistant load. During the entire demagnetization process, the temperature in the oven must be at least 310°C
(Curie point) for baking for 1 hour, and the exhaust gas generated during the baking should be treated to avoid
environmental pollution.
Note:
After degaussing and returning to normal temperature, the remaining gauge should be close to 10 Gauss,
otherwise it is recommended to continue the above process.

Disposal of packaging
The packaging materials and packaging auxiliary materials used by HIWIN are no problematic materials. Except
for wood materials, they can be recycled and reused. Wood materials should be burned.
