A Hiwin block, also known as a linear guide block or carriage, is a key component of a linear motion system, specifically designed to facilitate smooth and precise linear movement along a rail. The block moves along a Hiwin linear guide rail, with recirculating ball bearings that roll between the block and the rail. This design minimizes friction and allows for highly accurate positioning, even under heavy loads.
Hiwin blocks are widely used in various industrial applications, including CNC machinery, automation systems, robotics, and precision engineering equipment. They are engineered for durability, high load capacity, and excellent rigidity, ensuring stable and reliable performance in demanding environments. Hiwin offers a range of blocks, including different sizes, preloads, and accuracy classes, to meet specific application needs.
