Torque Motor Installation Manual
8-1 If the guiding fixture method is used, it is necessary to confirm that the related fixture and
configuration are installed.
9. Remove all the fixings at the machine end. If the stator and rotor are fixed, they can be separated from
the machine at the same time; if the guiding method is used, please remove the stator and rotor in the
reverse order during assembly. When removing, be careful that the O-ring may be damaged.
10. When removing the O-ring, be careful not to stretch it excessively. Stretching more than 10% may
cause permanent damage; it is also not allowed to twist or use sharp tools.
11. Use the original packaging or a safe way to pack and store it correctly.
Note: If replace a new torque motor, it is recommended to use a new O-ring; when the O-ring needs to be
replaced, please refer to Chapter 4.1.4 to purchase an appropriate O-ring or purchase it from HIWIN.

9.2 Disposal

Products need to be disposed according to the normal recycling process in accordance with laws and
regulations.
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.
