Linear Guide Details – HIWIN EGH25CA

HIWIN Linear Guide, or linear motion rail systems from the HIWIN brand, are widely used solutions in the automation machinery industry, industrial robotics, machining centers, precision measuring equipment, and material handling systems that require stable and accurate linear motion. The EGH25CA model is designed to support applications that demand high precision, combined with strength and durability for continuous operation.

With a robust structure, an efficient ball circulation system, and international manufacturing standards, HIWIN linear guides help reduce friction, enhance smooth motion, and extend the overall service life of the system. As a result, HIWIN has become one of the world’s leading brands in linear motion technology and a trusted choice among machine manufacturers and engineers worldwide.

Features

The Low Profile Ball Type Linear Guide (EG Series) is specifically designed for applications with limited installation space while maintaining high performance. Its key features include:

• Compact and low-profile design
  The slim and compact structure makes it suitable for equipment and machinery with space constraints.

• High load capacity
  Despite its compact size, the EG Series is capable of supporting relatively high loads, making it suitable for industrial applications.

• Equal load rating in all directions
  The guide can support radial, reverse radial, and lateral loads equally, providing greater flexibility in system design.

• Good rigidity and stability
  The optimized structural design ensures sufficient rigidity for a wide range of operating conditions.

• Low friction and smooth motion
  The ball rolling mechanism results in a low coefficient of friction, enabling smooth, precise, and efficient linear motion.

• Easy maintenance and interchangeability (selected models)
  Interchangeable types are available, helping to reduce maintenance time and overall service costs.

Installation and Operation

The installation and operating guidelines for the HIWIN Low Profile Ball Type Linear Guide (EG Series) are similar to those of other HIWIN linear guide systems. Important recommendations include:

• Cleaning before installation
  Remove the rust-preventive oil from the linear guide before installation.

• Rail alignment
  When using butt-joint rails, install them according to the indicated marks and sequence provided by the manufacturer.

• Do not remove the carriage
  Avoid removing the carriage from the rail unless absolutely necessary, as this may cause ball loss and reduced accuracy.

• Foreign matter protection
  Prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the carriage, and do not disassemble any components.

• Proper lubrication
  Lubricate the carriage after the guide has been fully assembled onto the machine to ensure optimal performance and extended service life. The use of protective caps to cover the rail surface is also recommended to prevent contamination and maintain accuracy.

• Storage
  When not in use, store the linear guide horizontally to prevent damage or unintended movement.
