Description

Linear Block, Sliding Block HGH/HGW Series

Linear Block, Sliding Block

Model Series: HGH/HGW

• Designed for use with linear rails.
• HGH denotes a square profile linear block, while HGW is a wide profile (flanged) block type.
• Linear blocks are utilized with linear rails in various industrial applications, including CNC machinery, serving as the load-bearing component on the rail.
• Constructed from steel or aluminum, these blocks contain internal bearings that facilitate movement.
• They enable smooth, rapid, and bidirectional linear motion along the guide rail.
• The HGH series features a standard square profile, while the HGW series offers a wider profile with flanges.

Features: Linear Block (HGH and HGW Series)

• High precision, smoothness, superior wear resistance, and low noise operation.
• Manufactured using advanced technology for precise dimensions, high hardness, and exceptional durability.
• High load-bearing capacity with minimal friction.
• Widely applied in CNC machine tools, machining centers, electronics, automation machinery, textile machinery, automotive woodworking machinery, and printing machinery.

Linear Rail

Installation: Correct Linear Block Installation Procedure

1. Place the slider parallel to the guide rail.
2. Gently push the slider onto the guide rail.
3. Slide the slider fully onto the guide rail.
4. Installation is complete; ensure the steel balls are not dislodged.

During installation, do not remove the protective plastic rails from the slider beforehand, as this can lead to the loss of internal steel balls and prevent proper assembly and function. When disassembling, use the protective rails to retain the balls.

Installation Tips:

If not used with protective rails, the sharp edges of the guide rail (especially those made from No. 55 steel) can easily dislodge the balls from the ball grooves.

Linear blocks of the HGH and HGW types exhibit distinct differences based on their application and characteristics:

Structure and Design

HGW (Heavy Load Wide Linear Guide)

• Wide Profile: Features a wider rail and block design, enhancing stability and load distribution.
• Load Capacity: Engineered for heavy-duty applications, offering superior load-bearing capabilities compared to SBR (Support Rail Guide) blocks.

HGH (High-precision Linear Guide)

• Standard Profile: Characterized by a square rail profile with integrated balls or rollers.
• High Precision: Delivers exceptional positional accuracy, making it suitable for applications demanding high precision.

Load Capacity and Stability

• HGW: Offers higher load capacity and greater stability due to its wider construction. It is ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring minimized vibration and deflection.
• HGH: Provides good load capacity, with a primary focus on high-precision movement. It is well-suited for applications requiring accuracy over extreme load handling.

Applications

• HGW: Recommended for applications demanding high load capacity and stability, such as heavy industrial machinery, large-scale CNC equipment, and other robust systems.
• HGH: Suitable for applications requiring high precision and smooth motion, including CNC machines, 3D printers, and precision manufacturing equipment.

Summary

• HGW: Best suited for applications requiring high load capacity and exceptional stability.
• HGH: Ideal for applications prioritizing high precision and smooth linear motion.

The selection between HGW and HGH depends on the specific requirements of the application. For superior stability and heavy load support, HGW is the preferred choice. For applications where precision is paramount, HGH is the more appropriate option.
