Intelligently design, configure and order

Save development time, minimize risks, and reach a finished solution faster—with its new sizing tool for electric cylinders, Hiwin GmbH is expanding its webshop to include the crucial first step in the development process for modern drive solutions. From the initial concept through precise sizing and individual configuration, right up to direct ordering, Hiwin digitally maps the entire process within a single webshop environment.

Hiwin electric cylinders stand for the utmost precision, reliability, and continuous performance. In many applications, they represent a technically and economically superior alternative to hydraulic or pneumatic solutions—requiring minimal maintenance, operating efficiently, and eliminating issues such as leaks or compressed air losses. However, a high-performance electric cylinder is only as good as its design and sizing.

This is precisely where the new Hiwin sizing tool comes in: Users can independently size their application and, based on just a few inputs, receive a solution recommendation that is technically sound and perfectly tailored to their specific application. The sizing project can be saved, retrieved later, and shared with colleagues—making it ideal for collaborative work within development teams. With a seamless digital workflow, users can then proceed directly to the product configurator. Consequently, manual tables, follow-up inquiries, and time-consuming quotation processes are now things of the past.

The decisive added value: The process does not end with configuration. In the Hiwin webshop, pricing, delivery times, and stock availability are immediately visible—allowing the configured solution to be ordered directly. Hiwin thus offers a virtually unique end-to-end service that shortens development cycles, simplifies procurement processes, and prevents misconfigurations right from the start.

Despite this high level of digitalization, personal consultation remains a central component of the service offering. Application engineers, sales experts, and dedicated contact persons provide support to design engineers, purchasing managers, and end-users alike across Europe—covering everything from initial sizing through to system operation.

In doing so, Hiwin offers far more than just electric cylinders—it provides a comprehensive, continuous service from the very first click to the fully operational system.
