Roller type linear guideways SHW Series

The SHW Series Wide-Section 4-Row Caged Ball Guides by THK feature balls that roll along four ground tracks between the rail and block, with an integrated recirculation system that ensures smooth movement of the caged balls. The balls are arranged at a 45° contact angle, ensuring uniform load distribution in all four directions (radial, reverse radial, and lateral). The SHW model is highly versatile and can be mounted in any orientation. The block can be preloaded to enhance rigidity in all directions while maintaining a consistent and low friction coefficient. With a low center of gravity, wide rail, and compact height, this model is perfect for space-constrained applications or those requiring high moment rigidity, even in single-axis configurations. The 4-row ball recirculation system and wide base provide exceptional rigidity and allow the guide to handle moments in single-rail setups.
