Linear Guideways Linear guideways & accessories
A linear guideway permits linear movement with the aid of

rolling elements. By using balls or rollers between the rail
and block, a linear guideway can attain an extremely pre-
cise linear movement. Compared with a standard sliding
guide, the friction coefficient here is just one fiftieth. The
good efficiency and zero play mean that the linear guide-
way can be used in various ways.

General information
2. General information
2.1 Properties and advantages
1. High positioning accuracy

A carriage mounted with a linear guideway only has to overcome rolling friction. The
difference between the static and dynamic rolling friction is very small so the break
away force is only slightly greater than the motion force. Stick-slip effects are not
experienced.
2. Long lifetime and highly precise movement

With a sliding guide, the different thicknesses of lubrication film may result in
accuracy errors. The sliding friction and the fact that lubrication is often insufficient
cause a lot of wear and therefore decreasing accuracy. Contrasted with this, the linear
guideway has very low rolling friction, coupled with extremely low wear. Guidance
accuracy remains virtually constant over the entire lifetime.
3. High speed and low driving force

The low friction coefficients mean that only low driving forces are needed. The required
power also remains low when reversing.
4. Same high load capacity in all directions

Thanks to the enforced guidance inherent in its design, a linear guideway can absorb
forces in a vertical and horizontal direction.
5. Simple installation and interchangeability

Assembling a linear guideway is a simple process. A high level of accuracy is achieved
with a milled or ground mounting surface if the assembly instructions are followed.
Standard sliding guides require considerably more effort to assemble as the sliding
surfaces have to be scraped. Individual components cannot be interchanged without
scraping. Linear guideways can however be interchanged with very little effort.
6. Simple lubrication
Insufficient lubrication on sliding guides destroys the sliding surfaces. Lubricant must
be used at a large number of points on the sliding surfaces. The linear guideway only
requires minimal lubrication which is provided by a simple supply line to the block.
HIWIN can also supply blocks with an integrated oil lubrication unit and interchange
able oil tank for long-term lubrication.
7. Corrosion protection
To achieve optimum corrosion protection, blocks and rails can be supplied with
different coatings. The individual procedures selected depend on the application. Data
relating to the ambient conditions and corrosive substances is needed for an optimum
choice of coating. The miniature linear guideways MG and MG-O are produced in
stainless steel.

2.3 Load ratings
2.3.1 Static load rating C0

If a linear guideway is subject to disproportionately high loads or impact during contact subject to the most loading. The values are stated in the tables for each linear
movement or when stationary, local permanent deformation occurs between the block guideway. These tables can be used to select a suitable linear guideway. The maximum

2.3.2 Permissible static moment M0

The permissible static moment is the moment that corresponds to the greatest
possible loading of moving parts by the static load rating in a defined direction and
magnitude. The permissible static moment is defined in three directions (MX, MY and
MZ) for linear movement systems.
MX MY MZ
2.3.3 Static structural safety

Static structural safety, which depends on the ambient and operating conditions, must
be taken into account for rail systems at rest or moving slowly. A higher level of
structural safety is especially important for guides subject to impact loads, see Table
2.1. The static structural safety can be calculated using F 2.1.

Please note: The load-bearing capacity of the linear guideway is often limited not
by its load-bearing strength, but the screw connection. We therefore recommend
checking the maximum permitted load-bearing capacity of the screw connection in
accordance with VDI 2230.

Loading fSL; fSM [min.]
Normal loading 1.25 – 3.00
With impact and vibration 3.00 – 5.00
2.3.4 Dynamic load rating Cdyn

The dynamic load rating is the defined loading (in direction and magnitude) at which
a linear guideway achieves a nominal lifetime of 50 km 1) travel distance (HG, QH, EG,
QE, WE, MG, MG-O) or 100 km 1) (RG). The dynamic load rating is stated for each guide
in the dimension charts. This can be used to calculate the lifetime of one particular
guide.
1) The dynamic load rating of linear guideways is stated for a lifetime of 50 or 100 km
travel distance depending on the manufacturer. The following factors can be used to
convert the dynamic load rating.
Cdyn 50 km = 1.26 × Cdyn 100 km (series HG, QH, EG, QE, WE, MG, MG-O)
Cdyn 50 km = 1.23 × Cdyn 100 km (series RG)

2.4 Lifetime calculation
2.4.1 Definition of lifetime

Continual and repeat loading of the tracks and balls on a linear guideway causes signs
of fatigue on the track surface. Ultimately this results in what is known as pitting.
The lifetime of a linear guideway is defined as the total travel distance covered until
pitting starts to form on the surface of the track or balls.
2.4.2 Nominal lifetime (L)

The lifetime may vary significantly even if the linear guideways are produced in the
same way and used under the same movement conditions. The nominal lifetime should
therefore be viewed as a rough estimate of the lifetime of a linear guideway. The
nominal lifetime corresponds to the total travel distance which 90 % of a group of
identical linear guideways reach under the same conditions without failure.
2.4.2.1 Nominal lifetime calculation

The actual loading affects the nominal lifetime of a linear guideway. The nominal
lifetime can be calculated with Formulas F 2.2 and F 2.3 using the selected dynamic
load rating and equivalent dynamic loading.

2.4.2.2 Factors affecting nominal lifetime

The type of loading, hardness of the track and temperature of the guide have a
considerable impact on the nominal lifetime. Formulas F 2.4 and F 2.5 show the
relationship between these factors.
Hardness factor (fh)

HRC 60 50 40 30 20 10
The tracks of the linear guideways have a hardness of 58 HRC. A hardness factor of
1.0 applies. If the hardness differs from this, the hardness factor shown on the right
should be used. If the stated hardness is not reached, the permissible loading is 1.0 0.6 0.3 0.2 0.03 0.03
reduced. If this happens, the dynamic and static load ratings must be multiplied by the
hardness factor.
Temperature factor (ft)

°C 80 100 150 200 250
Standard rails can be used in an ambient temperature range of –10 to 80 °C. At ambi-
ent temperatures up to 150 °C, linear guideways with a metallic end cap must be used

(identified in the type code by the addition “/SE”). Intermittent ambient temperatures
of up to 180 °C are possible. However, we do recommend contacting our technical
support team to be sure. If the temperature of a linear guideway exceeds 100 °C, the
permissible load and lifetime are reduced. The dynamic and static load ratings must
therefore be multiplied by the temperature factor.

General information
Load factor (fw)

The equivalent dynamic load is multiplied by the load factor according to Table 2.2.
This takes into account the external effects on the rail’s service life that are not
entered directly in the calculations (e.g. vibrations, impacts, and high speed). For
short-stroke applications (stroke < 2 × block length), the load factor determined must
be doubled.

2.5 Operating load
2.5.1 Operating load

When calculating the loads acting on a linear guideway, various factors must be taken
into account, e.g. the focal point of the load, the motion force‘s point of entry and
the mass inertia at the start and end of movement. To obtain a correct value, each
parameter must be taken into account.

2.5.2 Calculation of equivalent load during changing loads

If loading of a linear guideway fluctuates greatly, an equivalent load must be used in
the lifetime calculation. The equivalent load is defined as the load which causes the
same wear on the bearings as the changing loads. It can be calculated using Table 2.5.

2.6 Friction and lubrication
2.6.1 Frictional resistance

Using rolling elements in the linear guideway mainly reduces friction on the roll of the dynamic load rating, most of the frictional resistance is caused by the wiper and
friction of the rolling elements. This makes the friction coefficient of linear guideways grease and friction between the rolling elements. If the operating load is more than
very low, up to one fiftieth of that of traditional sliding guides. Generally, the friction 10 % of the dynamic load rating, the load provides the majority of the frictional
coefficient is around 0.004 depending on the series. If the loading is only 10 % or less resistance.

2.6.2 Lubrication
Like any other roller bearing, linear guideways need a sufficient supply of lubricant. Lubricants reduce wear, protect against contamination, reduce corrosion and their

2.8 Assembly
Depending on the accuracy required and the linear guideway’s impact and vibration
loading, the following three types of assembly are recommended.
2.8.1 Assembly of rails with reference edge and clamp

If the machine is subject to severe vibration, impact or lateral force, guides and blocks
may move. To avoid this problem and achieve a high level of rigidity and guidance

General information
2.9 Sealing systems
2.9.1 Sealing systems SS, ZZ, DD, KK

The HIWIN end seals firstly prevent the ingress of foreign substances such as dust
particles, chips or liquid into the block‘s ball tracks and secondly reduce the amount
of lubricant lost. HIWIN provides various sealing systems for the various ambient
conditions of your application. The effectiveness of the end seal impacts directly on
the lifetime of the linear guideway and should therefore be taken into account at the
design stage and selected to suit the ambient conditions of your application.
SS (standard):
End seal with bottom seal
For applications with little dirt and dust
Only minimal increase in displacement forces
ZZ:
Only minimal increase in displacement forces
For applications associated with hot chips or sharp-edged particles of dirt
The scraper protects the end seal and prevents it from being damaged
DD:
Double end seal with bottom seal
For applications associated with a lot of dirt and dust
The double end seal effectively prevents the ingress of dirt into the block
KK:
Double end seal with bottom seal and scraper
For applications associated with a lot of dirt and dust and hot chips or sharp-
edged particles of dirt
The scraper protects the end seals and prevents them from being damaged
Availability of sealing systems SS, ZZ, DD and KK:

Sealing systems SS, ZZ, DD and KK are available for all series and sizes.
The exceptions are the MG and MG-O series, for which only the standard sealing
system SS is available.

2.9.2 Sealing systems SW and ZWX for optimum dust protection
Sealing systems SW and ZWX allow HIWIN linear guideways to also be used in areas
with very high levels of dirt. The sealing systems offer optimum protection against the
ingress of dirt, dust and liquid. The end seal is resistant to oils and greases and very
resistant to wear.
Properties: Advantages:
End seal with double sealing lip Optimum dust protection
Optimized bottom seal Lifetime extended ten-fold
Additional top seal Longer lubrication intervals
Optimized stainless steel scraper Lower maintenance costs
SW:
End seal with double sealing lip, optimized bottom seal and additional top seal
Optimum dust protection
The additional top seal prevents the ingress of dirt via the top of the rail
The optimized bottom seal protects against the ingress of dirt on the rail flank
ZWX:
End seal with double sealing lip, optimized bottom seal, additional top seal and
optimized scraper
Optimum dust protection
The additional top seal prevents the ingress of dirt via the top of the rail
The optimized bottom seal protects against the ingress of dirt on the rail flank
The optimized scraper also protects against dirt particles > 0.2 mm in diameter
and prevents damage to the end seal.
Dust test for sealing systems SW and ZWX Test conditions:

Thorough dust tests have shown that the lifetime with sealing systems SW and ZWX is Sealed room in which MDF dust is swirled about
ten times longer than that with a standard seal in cases of high dust levels. v = 1.3 m/s

General information
2.10 SynchMotion™ technology

The innovative SynchMotion™ technology reduces contact between the rolling
elements and with the block. Like the ball cage of a standard ball bearing, the rolling
elements are kept a defined distance from one another using SynchMotion™ tech-
nology. Reciprocal friction, as is produced in standard linear guideways, is therefore
prevented and synchronous fluctuations are greatly reduced. No uncontrolled ball
movements occur, even at high speeds. SynchMotion™ technology also improves the
transport of lubricant within the block and the storage of lubricant.
Advantages:
Optimised for high travel speeds
Improved lubrication properties
Less running noise
Higher dynamic load capacities

3.1.3 Order codes for the HG/QH series

For HG/QH linear guideways, a distinction is made between interchangeable and
non-interchangeable models. The dimensions of both models are the same. The main
difference is that the block and rail in the interchangeable models can be freely
interchanged. Block and rail can be ordered separately and fitted by the customer.
Their accuracy extends to class P.
Given their stringent dimensional accuracy check, the interchangeable models are a
good choice for customers who do not use rails in pairs on one axis. Non-interchange-
able linear guideways are always supplied preassembled. The order codes of the series
include the dimensions, model, accuracy class, preload etc.

Note:
1. The tolerance for E is +0.5 to –1 mm for standard rails and 0 to –0.3 mm for joints.
2. If the E1/2 dimensions are not indicated, the maximum possible number of mounting holes will be determined under consideration of E1/2 min.
3. The rails are shortened to the required length. If the E1/2 dimensions are not indicated, these will be carried out symmetrically.

3.1.10.3 Calculating the length of rails

HIWIN offers rails in customized lengths. To prevent the risk of the end of the rail
becoming unstable, the value E must not exceed half of the distance between the
mounting holes (P). At the same time, the value E1/2 should be between E1/2 min and
E1/2 max so that the mounting hole does not rupture.
n = Number of mounting holes
E1 P E2
L
F 3.2 L = ( n – 1) × P + E1 + E2 L Total length of the rail [mm]

n Number of mounting holes
P Distance between two mounting holes [mm]
E1/2 Distance from the middle of the last
mounting hole to the end of the rail [mm]

3.2.3 Order codes for the EG/QE series

For EG/QE linear guideways, a distinction is made between interchangeable and
interchanged. Block and rail can be ordered separately and fitted by the customer.
Their accuracy extends to class P.
Given their stringent dimensional accuracy check, the interchangeable modules are a
good choice for customers who do not use rails in pairs on one axis. Non-interchange-
able linear guideways are always supplied preassembled. The order codes of the series

3.3 WE series
3.3.1 Properties of the linear guideway, series WE

The HIWIN linear guideways of the WE series are based on proven HIWIN technology.
Their large rail width and low installation height permit a compact design and high
torque loading capacity.
3.3.2 Structure of the WE series

45° contact angle
Wide linear guideway for high torque loading capacity
Large mounting surface on block
Structure of the WE series
Advantages:
Compact and low-cost design thanks to high torque loading capacity
High efficiency thanks to low friction losses
50% wider than standard series
2-row mounting holes
The block’s large mounting surface supports the transfer of higher torques
The 45° arrangement of ball tracks permits high loading from all directions
Optimized geometry and high loading capacity thanks to FEM analysis of rail and
block

For WE linear guideways, a distinction is made between interchangeable and Their accuracy extends to class P. Given their stringent dimensional accuracy check,
non-interchangeable models. The dimensions of both models are the same. The main the interchangeable modules are a good choice for customers who do not use rails
difference is that the block and rail in the interchangeable models can be freely in pairs on one axis. Non-interchangeable linear guideways are always supplied

3.5 MG-O series
3.5.1 Properties of the linear guideway, series MGN-O

The HIWIN linear guideway of the MGN-O series is based on the proven MGN series.
Thanks to the optimised ball return in the plastic duct, the synchronous performance
and quiet running are improved and the weight is reduced by around 20 %. The Gothic
race profile absorbs loads in all directions and is particularly rigid and precise. Given
its compact and lightweight design, it is particularly suited to use in small devices.

3.5.9 Dust protection

The blocks of the MG-O series are equipped on both sides with an end seal to protect
against dirt as standard. In addition seals for the bottom of the block can be ordered
using the “+U” identifier in the order code. They are available as options for sizes 12
and 15. They cannot be fitted for size 5 due to the limited installation space H1. When
fitting a bottom seal, the side mounting surface of the rail must not exceed H1.

3.6 RG and QR series
3.6.1 Properties of the linear guideways, series RG and QR

The HIWIN linear guideways of the RG series use rollers rather than balls as rolling The models of the QR series with SynchMotion™ technology offer all the positive
elements. The RG series provides extremely good rigidity and very good loading capa properties of the standard series RG. Controlled movement of the rollers at a defined
city. It is designed with a 45° contact angle. Its linear contact surface greatly reduces distance also results in improved synchronous performance, higher reliable travel
deformation from the loading produced and therefore ensures very good rigidity and speeds, extended lubrication intervals and less running noise. Since the installation

therefore ideal for use in high-precision manufacturing. fitted on the RGR standard rail and can therefore be interchanged with ease. For more
information, refer to Page 24.

ZB High preload 0.12 – 0.14 Cdyn Very high rigidity required, with vibration and impact
The diagram shows the relationship between rigidity, frictional resistance and nominal
lifetime. For smaller models, a preload of no more than ZA is recommended to avoid
the lifetime being shortened as a result of preload.

3.7 PG series
3.7.1 Properties of the linear guideways, series PG

The HIWIN linear guideways of the PG series are a special type of the HG/QH series
with the integrated, magnetic positioning measurement system MAGIC. The positioning
measurement systems of the MAGIC series are optimised for measuring the distances
travelled in linear movements and particularly on linear motor axes. The measuring
system consists of a magnetic measuring gauge on a stainless steel carrier tape and
a sensing unit. The robust housing with excellent electrical shielding and real-time
signal output make the HIWIN MAGIC series the positioning measurement system of
choice for demanding applications.
In the PG series, the stylus is fitted directly on the HG/QH series block. The magnetic
tape is integrated in an additional groove in the HGR rail. The MAGIC positioning meas-
urement system is also available as a model not dependent on the rail. The customer
can specify where the magnetic tape and stylus are positioned. For details, please
refer to the catalogue “Electric drive technology – linear motors, torque motors,
positioning measurement systems”.
