Product descriptions
The magnetic distance measuring systems of the MAGIC series are optimised for measuring
the distances travelled in linear movements and particularly on linear motor axes. They are
particularly well-suited for use in harsh environments and are insensitive to oil, dirt, vibration
and shock.
The rugged housing is electrically shielded, the signal output is in real time (for details see
chapter 5 Electrical connection and “Linear motors and distance measuring systems”
catalogue).
It is available in two versions:
HIWIN MAGIC: type with separate encoder
HIWIN MAGIC-PG: distance measuring system integrated in a linear guideway
3.1
HIWIN MAGIC
This distance measuring system consists of a separate encoder (fig. 3.1) and a magnetic
tape(fig. 3.2). Both can be mounted by the customer in suitable positions of their choice.

3.2
HIWIN MAGIC-PG
In this version, the distance measuring system is integrated into a linear guideway. The total
unit is then called the positioning guideway (PG).
The scanning unit is attached to a standard guide carriage, it is suitable for blocks of sizes
HG_20, HG_25, QH_20, QH_25, CG_20, CG_25, CG_30, CG_35 und CG_45. The measuring
standard is integrated directly into a profile rail in the form of a magnetic tape (see Fig. 3.3).
