Grouped Linear-Guideways

Linear guideways provide linear motion by re-circulating rolling elements between a profiled rail and a bearing block. The coefficient of friction on a linear guideway is only 1/50 compared to a traditional slide. With these features, a linear guideway can achieve high precision and greatly enhanced moving accuracy while carrying loads in all directions. Hiwin Corporation offers a variety of linear guideway series, each featuring different options for sizes, loading capacity, accuracy, and more.

Series

HG Series- Linear Guideway

HG Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 11.38 kN - 208.36 kN

The HG series linear guideways are designed with load capacity and rigidity higher than other similar products with circular-arc groove and structure optimization. It features equal load ratings in the radial, reverse radial and lateral directions, and self-aligning to absorb installation-error. Thus, the HG series linear guideways can achieve a long life with high speed, high accuracy and smooth linear motion.

EG Series- Linear Guideway

EG Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 5.35 kN - 33.35 kN

The EG series is a low profile, high load capacity, and high rigidity guideway block. It also features an equal load rating in all four directions and self-aligning capability to absorb installation-error, allowing for higher accuracies. Additionally, the lower assembly height and the shorter length make the EG series more suitable for high-speed, automation machines and applications where space is limited.

CG Series- Linear Guideway

CG Series

Superior Moment Load Capacity

The CG series linear guideways have moment load capacities up to 50% higher than standard HG Assemblies. The O-Type (back-to-back) bearing configuration and an integrated recirculation unit optimize bearing circulation greatly improving moment load capacities and promoting smooth motion. An optional stainless steel cover strip increases dust protection and promotes smooth block transition.

RG Series- Linear Guideway

RG Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 11.3 kN - 275.3 kN

The RG series features a roller as the rolling element instead of steel balls. The RG series is designed with a 45-degree angle of contact. Elastic deformation of the linear contact surface, during loading, is greatly reduced thereby offering greater rigidity and higher load capacities in all 4 load directions. The RG series linear guideway offers high performance for high-precision manufacturing and can achieve a longer service life than traditional ball bearing linear guideways.

WE Series- Linear Guideway

WE Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 5.23kN - 29.8 kN

The WE series features equal load ratings in the radial, reverse radial and the lateral direction with contact points at 45 degrees. This along with the wide rail, allows the guideway to be rated for high loads, moments and rigidity. By design, it has a self-aligning capability that can absorb most installation errors and can meet high accuracy standards. The ability to use a single rail and to have the low profile with a low center of gravity is ideal where space is limited and/or high moments are required.

MG Series- Linear Guideway

MG Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 0.68 kN - 8.93 kN

The MG series is a miniature linear guideway that comes in a compact size with a Gothic arch contact design that offers high stiffness and high rigidity against moment loads in all directions. The MG series also offers anti-corrosion protection which all material is in a special grade of stainless steel for compatibility in various working environments. The MG series is available in a narrow block type (MGN) and also with an enlarged width (MGW).

QH Series- Linear Guideway

QH Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 13.88kN - 108.72 kN

The development of Hiwin’s QH linear guideway is based on a four-row circular-arc contact. The QH series linear guideway with SynchMotion™ Technology offers smooth movement, superior lubrication, quieter operation and longer running life. Therefore the QH linear guideway has broad industrial applicability in the high-tech industry where high speed, low noise, and reduced dust generation is required. The QH series is interchangeable with the HG series.

QE Series- Linear Guideway

QE Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 8.56 kN - 51.18 kN

The development of the Hiwin’s QE linear guideway is based on a four-row circular-arc contact. The QE series linear guideway with SynchMotion™ Technology offers smooth movement, superior lubrication, quieter operation and longer running life. Therefore the QE linear guideway has broad industrial applicability in the high-tech industry where high speed, low noise, and reduced dust generation is required. The QE series is interchangeable with the EG series.

QW Series- Linear Guideway

QW Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 16 kN - 36.8 kN

The QW series linear guideway with SynchMotion™ Technology possesses all the advantages of the WE series, which features high moment rigidity and is suitable for single rail or space saving applications. With the SynchMotion™ technology it also provides quieter and smoother movement, superior lubrication, and longer service life. The QW series is interchangeable with the WE series.

QR Series- Linear Guideway

QR Series

Basic Dynamic Load Range: 26.3 kN - 150.8 kN

HIWIN’s QR series offers super high rigidity and very high load capacities. The QR series with SynchMotion™ Technology offers low friction, smooth movement, quieter operation and longer running life. In industries where high accuracy, low noise and high rigidity are required, the QR series is the ideal guideway choice. The QR series is interchangeable with the RG series.

PG Series- Linear Guideway

PG Series

Hiwin’s positioning guideway system integrates a linear guideway with a magnetic encoder. This solution offers the high stiffness and rigidity of a guideway while obtaining high precision from the magnetic encoder. The encoder is a non-contact measuring sensor and the magnetic strip is embedded to prevent possible damage caused from external materials, these features ensure a longer service life.

Accessories

E2 Series

The E2 self-lubricating linear guideway has a lubricator installed between the end cap and end seal. The block is also equipped with a replaceable/refillable oil cartridge with a removable cap for easy replenishment of oil. Lubrication flows from the oil cartridge to the lubricator and coats the grooves of the rail and raceway via capillary action. HIWIN’s E2 kit extends maintenance cycles and ensures long service life.

E2 Series-Self-Lubricating Linear Guideway

SE Series

The SE is a metal end cap option for the linear guideway that increases temperature resistance. This option enables service temperatures up to 150°C and instance temperatures up to 200°C. For situations where a standard block is unable to operate due to the high working temperatures, the SE option is available for use.

Dust Proof Options

Dust proof attachments prevent material debris and dust particles from entering the block and causing damage to grooved surfaces. Dustproof options are recommended when a guideway is exposed to a high debris environment to ensure extended service life.

Linear Guideway Dust-Proof Options

Reinforced Caps

The RC reinforced cap is constructed of an oil and abrasion resistant synthetic resin and elastic rubber O-ring. The cap provides high performance dust protection and is resistant to being unseated by vibration or shock.
