The displacement resistance of a carriage depends on many factors, e.g. load, temperature, lubricant (grease, fluid grease, oil), lubricant quantity, travel speed, series, size or the sealing system. A concrete specification of the displacement resistance is therefore only possible with defined general conditions. An essential factor here is the lubricant and the lubrication condition. Especially in freshly lubricated condition, the displacement resistance is clearly increased. However, after a running-in period of 15 metres, the displacement resistance is reduced again by approx. 50%.

In this video, we show you the precision with which we cut cover strips.

In the following video, you can see how chamfering edges on linear guideways works both mechanically and manually.

In the following video you can see how to cut cover strips by machine or manually.

The long-term lubrication unit for linear guideways ensures that lubrication intervals can be increased many times over, thus reducing the number of maintenance intervals significantly. Depending on requirements, up to two long-term lubrication units can be mounted on each block.

The cover caps are used to keep the mounting holes of the profile rails free of chips and dirt. In this video, we show you how to easily assemble and disassemble steel, brass or plastic cover caps.

Easy installation, better protection against dirt ingress and wear of the end seals. With the HIWIN cover strip, you achieve longer lifetimes with shorter assembly times. Even with installed blocks, HIWIN linear guideways can be equipped with a cover strip or exchanged for a cover strip if necessary. We’ll show you how in this video.
