HIWIN launches sales of the new UR roller guide

The UR series is an upgrade of the proven RG roller guide and was developed for applications where every detail counts: from tool and special machine construction to automated production lines, precise guide units for large components, and heavy-duty handling solutions. With the UR roller guide, HIWIN sets new standards in precision and load-bearing capacity. Thanks to its optimized rolling element geometry, the UR heavy-duty guide ensures maximum load ratings and stiffness, as well as consistent running behavior. It offers up to 34% higher static load capacity, up to 19% higher dynamic load capacity, and up to 70% longer service life. For users, this means higher machining performance, dimensional accuracy, and improved surface finish – even under heavy loads. The patented 360° lubricant distribution ensures that each individual rolling element is optimally supplied with lubricant, even in wall-mounted, oil-lubricated applications. This increases process reliability, reduces lubricant consumption, and ensures stable and long-lasting operation even under extreme operating conditions. Dirt-resistant sealing systems provide additional protection for the roller guide. Integrated linear encoders open up further automation possibilities, and a wide range of sizes, designs, and carriage lengths guarantees maximum adaptability and flexibility. Whether as a flanged carriage or a low-profile or high-profile block carriage, in heavy-duty or super-heavy-duty versions: the UR series can be precisely tailored to specific requirements. With this comprehensive package, the UR roller guide becomes a true performance booster for demanding applications, elevating machines to the future level of performance today.
