The HGW20CC is a wide flange type heavy load linear guide slider from HIWIN's HG Series, designed for seamless integration with HGR20 profile rails. It incorporates a four-row ball bearing system with 45° contact angles, delivering equal load capacity across radial, reverse radial, and lateral directions, along with self-aligning capability to absorb minor installation errors. The flange mounting design enables flexible top or bottom installation, making it ideal for applications requiring balanced load distribution and high rigidity in constrained spaces.
Model Code Breakdown:
- HGW: Wide flange block, HG Series (Heavy load)
- 20: Nominal rail width (20mm)
- CC: Heavy load capacity, top/bottom mounting configuration
Core Features
- Four way equal load capacity (radial, reverse radial, lateral) for balanced performance
- 45° contact angle optimizes load distribution and structural rigidity
- Self aligning capability compensates for minor parallelism errors between mounting surfaces
- Ball retainer prevents balls from dislodging during rail separation, simplifying assembly
- Versatile flange mounting (top or bottom) for flexible system integration
- Circular-arc groove design enhances load capacity and rigidity beyond comparable products
- Available with preload options (Z0: Light, ZA: Medium, ZB: Heavy) and accuracy classes (C, H, P, SP, UP)
- Compatible with HGR20 profile rails (20mm width)
