What are the reason for Linear Rails and Blocks failure ?

Most common reason for failure of the near Linear Guide Ralis and Linear blocks:

Rust and corrosion - Poor lubrication and maintenance, coolant invasion, high-humidity environment corrosion.

Water or coolant invasion - Water or coolant solution invasion, high humidity environment Corrosion.

Seizure - Poor lubrication, excessive load

Cracks - Excessive external impact force, poor circulation of balls and rollers, under size LM rails or wrong calculation in design.

Denting or Fretting Corrosion - Micro-motion short stroke, poor lubrication, excessive load

Hiwin Linear Rails and Blocks can be used in Food Industry?


In the food industry, two types of production areas, one is the processing area and the other is the packing area. In the processing area, a lot of water cleaning and hygiene meant maintenance will be required. We recommend corrosion resistance coated Hiwin Linear Guide rails or Hiwin stainless steel rails to be used to prevent corrosion and failure. In the parking area, regular Hiwin LM rails can be used or special coating rails can be used normally. We recommend discussing with the customer the exact needs for your project.

what are the hiwin accuracy classes ?


Hiwin linear guideways blocks and Hiwin LM Rails come in 3 main and 2 special accuracy classes. The accuracy of all series can be classified into 5 classes: normal(C), high(H), precision(P), super precision(SP), and ultra-precision (UP).


The "C" class is for standard applications.

The "H" Class is more accurate than the "C" class.

The "P" Class is more accurate than the "H" and "C" classes.

Fast moving classes are "C" and "P"

what is a linear GUIDEWAY?


A linear guideway, also known as a linear guide or linear motion bearing, is a mechanical component used in various applications to provide linear motion and support for objects or equipment. It is designed to enable precise and smooth movement along a straight path, typically in a linear direction, and is commonly used in machinery, automation systems, and manufacturing processes.


A linear guideway typically consists of several key components:


1. Rail or track: This is a long, straight, and often rectangular-shaped structure that serves as the reference surface for guiding and supporting the moving components.


2. Slider or carriage: The slider is attached to the object or equipment that needs to move linearly. It rides on the rail and typically contains rolling elements, such as ball bearings or rollers, to reduce friction and enable smooth movement.


3. Rolling elements: These elements, such as ball bearings or rollers, are located within the slider or carriage and come into contact with the rail. They allow the slider to move along the rail with minimal friction.


Linear guideways are used in various applications, including CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery, industrial automation, transportation systems, and precision measurement equipment. They provide advantages like high accuracy, repeatability, and minimal friction, which make them suitable for applications that require precise and controlled linear motion. The choice of linear guideway design and materials can vary depending on load capacity, speed, and environmental conditions.
