![Diagram of key variables for dimensions of HIWIN Linear Guideway Rail](https://stovil.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Rail-Dimensional-Diagram.jpg)
- L = Length of Rail
- P = Pitch of Rail (distance between mounting holes on center)
- E = “E” Dimension (distance from the edge of the rail to the first mounting hole on center)
Rail Details:
- All HIWIN-branded Block and Rail is genuine and made in Taiwan
- Each cut is made within ± 0.5 mm
- Each rail includes green mounting hole caps
- The edges of each end are ground / deburred for easy block installation
Do You:
- Have a project that specifies a non-standard length of HG Series rail?
- Require end dimensions that are different sizes, or non-standard?
- Just want to specify a custom HG Series Rail?

HG Series – Heavy Load Ball Type Linear Guideway
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, HIWIN HG series linear guideways can achieve a long life with high speed, high accuracy and smooth linear motion.
Features of HG Series
Self-Aligning Capability
By design, the circular-arc groove has contact points at 45 degrees. HG series can absorb most installation errors due to surface irregularities and provide smooth linear motion through the elastic deformation of rolling elements and the shift of contact points. Self-aligning capability, high accuracy and smooth operation can be obtained with an easy installation.
Interchangeability
Because of precision dimensional control, the dimensional tolerance of HG series can be kept in a reasonable range, which means that any blocks and any rails in a specific series can be used together while maintaining dimensional tolerance. And a retainer is added to prevent the balls from falling out when the blocks are removed from the rail.
High Rigidity in All Four Directions
Because of the four-row design, the HG series linear guideway has equal load ratings in the radial, revers radial and lateral directions. Furthermore, the circular-arc groove provides a wide-contact width between the balls and the groove raceway allowing large permissible loads and high rigidity.
HG Series Application Examples
- Machine Centers
- NC Lathes
- Grinding Machines
- Precision Machining Machines
- Heavy Cutting Machines
- Automation Devices
- Transportation Equipment
- Measuring Equipment
- Devices Requiring High Positional Accuracy
