Product Overview: HGH 45 Linear Guide Block
The HGH 45 is a high-performance linear guide block designed for precision and heavy-load applications. As a key component in our HGH Series of Linear Guideways, this carriage is engineered to run on a 45mm guide rail, providing exceptionally smooth and stable motion. Its robust design incorporates a four-row circular arc raceway, which allows it to handle high loads from all directions with excellent rigidity. This makes the HGH 45 an ideal solution for machinery requiring high accuracy and repeatability, such as CNC machines and industrial automation systems.
