A linear guideway allows a type of linear motion that utilizes rolling elements such as balls or rollers. By using recirculating rolling elements between the rail and the block, a linear guideway can achieve high precision linear motion. Compared to a traditional slide, the coefficient of friction for a linear guideway is only 1/50. Because of the restraint effect between the rails and the blocks, linear guideways can take up loads in both the up/down and the left/right directions. With these features, linear guideways can greatly enhance moving accuracy, especially, when accompanied with precise ball screws.
Linear Guideways
HG Series
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
EG Series
The EG series uses four rows of steel balls to bear the load design, which has the characteristics of high rigidity and high load, at the same time, it has the load characteristics of four directions, and the function of automatic centering.
Coupled with reducing the height of the combination and shortening the length of the slider, it is very suitable for high-speed automated industrial machinery and small equipment with space requirements.
MG Series
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).
QE Series
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.
RG Series
The RG series replaces steel balls with roller-type rolling elements, and is designed to achieve ultra-high rigidity and heavy-duty load capacity.
Through the linear contact between the rolling elements, the slide rail and the slider, the rolling elements only form a small amount when they are subjected to high loads With elastic deformation, the design of the contact angle of 45 degrees allows the overall linear slide to achieve the characteristics of high rigidity and high load capacity in four directions.
WE Series
The WE series adopts the design of four-row steel ball bearing load and 45-degree contact angle. It has the load characteristics of four directions and the function of automatic centering.
It can absorb the assembly errors of the mounting surface and achieve high-precision requirements. At the same time, the width of the slide rail is increased and the combined height is reduced to achieve ultra-high torsional resistance.
QH Series
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.
QR Series
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.
