HIWIN Linear Guideways

What are linear guideways?

Linear guideways are mechanical components designed to provide free and precise motion in one direction. These systems achieve extremely precise linear motion through the recirculation of rolling elements between the rail and the guideway. Due to their high efficiency and the availability of different models they are perfectly suitable for applications in different industries, such as manufacturing, robotics and positioning systems.

Choosing the right linear guideway is crucial to optimising the performance of an application, as it can improve the accuracy, speed and durability of the system.

TC Service offers high-quality solutions in the field of linear motion, thanks to its cooperation with Hiwin , a world leader in this field.

Benefits of Hiwin linear guideways:

Hiwin linear guideways, renowned for their precision and reliability, are among the best available devices for linear motion and offer several advantages over conventional guideways:

Smoothness of sliding and high precision of motion and positioning. The coefficient of friction is only one fiftieth of that of a conventional sliding system.
High load capacities and extended product life due to a detailed design and easy lubrication allow for high speeds.
The installation of a Hiwin guideway is very simple and does not require any special procedures: once the support surface has been milled or ground, just follow the installation instructions.

Linear guideways are produced in standard lengths, but they often have to be cut to length to fit exactly into the available space or to optimise their operation in a specific system. The purpose of cutting the guideways is to adapt their length to the specific requirements of the application or machine in which they are to be installed.

We offer a wide selection of off-the-shelf Hiwin linear guideways of all series, as well as ball screws and roller guideways, cut to length, spliced, ground and complete with treatment.
