Guidance and feed-motion components
Linear guideways: rails and blocks
A linear guideway provides straight-line guidance through rolling elements between a profiled rail and carriage block. HIWIN publishes separate guideway families with different sizes and configurations.
Preserve the full rail and block references. Add rail length, block quantity and specified accuracy or preload to the enquiry, rather than identifying an assembly by rail size alone.
HG is a ball-type guideway family, while EG is a low-profile range. The miniature MG family includes narrow MGN and wider MGW forms. The series table below links these family references to the catalogue.
These family names are not complete ordering codes. Include the block style, size and all suffixes from the approved requirement or existing component marking.
HIWIN offers rolled and ground ball screws. A ball screw provides feed motion within a machine axis; its purpose differs from the guideway that supports the guided path. The shaft and nut references together help identify the assembly.
Send the complete model, screw diameter, lead, length, nut reference and quantity. Include a drawing for machined shaft ends or other specified features.
Automation and positioning equipment can combine linear guideways with ball screw feed components. The guide provides the path for the moving assembly; the screw drive transmits feed motion. HIWIN’s manufacturer information describes these components within general automation systems.
For a purchasing enquiry, the drawing or machine parts list is more useful than a broad machine description. Preserve rail and block codes, screw and nut references, and any specified options.
Questions about HIWIN products
What is the difference between a guideway and a ball screw?
A guideway provides linear guidance. A ball screw transmits feed motion. They perform different roles and can be used together in a machine axis.
What do HG, EG, MGN and MGW identify?
These identify guideway families or forms. EG is a low-profile family; MGN and MGW are narrow and wide miniature forms. The complete model code is needed to identify the requested rail or block.
Can I request a replacement block using only its width?
Include the make, series, full block marking and rail reference. Width alone leaves important details unspecified. Keep any preload, accuracy and option suffixes from the equipment requirement.
What should I send for a HIWIN quotation in Chennai?
Kindly send the complete designation, quantity and delivery requirement. For guides, include rail length and the number of blocks. For ball screws, include the shaft and nut references or an approved drawing.
Share the part number or series, preferred quantity and delivery location. For a replacement enquiry, you can include the existing product marking or a photograph.
