Linear Guide & Slider – HG, EG & LWH Profile Rails

Linear guide sets for machine tools, packaging lines, handling gantries, woodworking machines and any application where a sliding element has to repeat its position without stick-slip. Rails are supplied cut to length with the blocks already matched to the rail, so a pair can be fitted and aligned without further matching on site.

Three block families cover most retrofit work: H is the square block with tapped mounting holes on top, F is the flanged version for lower mounting heights, W is the narrow block for space-restricted carriages, and L is the extended-length version for higher moment loads. Rails and blocks are dimensionally interchangeable with the widely used HG, EG and LWH profiles, so an existing machine can be re-railed without re-machining the carriage.

Selection needs four numbers: rail width, rail length, the load per block and the required accuracy. From those we confirm the block type, preload class and the number of blocks per rail, and send a drawing for confirmation before cutting. Rails are cut and hole-drilled to order, which is why the length has to be fixed before release.

• Rail widths 15 to 65 mm, blocks in square, flanged, narrow and long versions
• Accuracy C / H / P, preload Z0 / ZA / ZB, interchangeable with common HG, EG, LWH profiles
• Rails induction hardened and chrome plated, cut and drilled to the customer drawing
• Bellows, double wipers, rail joints and lubrication ports supplied as options
• Matched rail-and-block sets packed as one pair to avoid mixing grades on site

Standard widths ship in 20-30 days; longer rails and non-standard hole pitches need the drawing first and are quoted with a confirmed lead time. Send the rail width, length and load per block and we will come back with a complete set and a dimension drawing within three working days.
