Hiwin HG Series Linear Rails

Sliding block - converts motion from a curve to a straight line. The new guide rail system enables the machine tool to achieve fast feed speed, which is a characteristic of linear guides when the spindle speed is the same. Linear guides, like flat guides, have two basic components; One serves as a fixed component as a guide, and the other is a moving component. Due to the fact that linear guides are standard components, for machine tool manufacturers, all they need to do is process a plane for installing the guide rails and adjust the parallelism of the guide rails. Of course, for the accuracy of the machine tool, a small amount of scraping and grinding on the bed or column is essential, and in most cases, installation is relatively simple. The guide rail used as a guide is made of hardened steel and is finely ground before being placed on the installation plane. Compared with flat guide rails, the geometric shape of the cross-section of linear guide rails is more complex. The reason for the complexity is that grooves need to be machined on the guide rails to facilitate the movement of sliding components. The shape and number of grooves depend on the function that the machine tool needs to complete. For example, a guide rail system that can withstand both linear forces and overturning moments has significant differences in design compared to a guide rail that can only withstand linear forces.
