HIWIN Miniature Linear Guideways
Miniature? Yes. Resilient? Absolutely. Precise? Of course! Our HIWIN miniature linear guideways bring linear motion to places where there is virtually no space. Tiny in size, huge in performance and ready for any challenge that modern medical devices throw at you.
Our miniature guides are among the small, inconspicuous components that perform miracles inside modern medical devices. They enable precise, clean and absolutely reliable linear movements in designs where every millimetre of installation space is highly competitive. What makes them special? Impressive performance with minimal dimensions. Whether as a narrow, particularly space-saving type or as a wider, moment-resistant type – our miniature linear guideways are available with carriage lengths from 11 mm and carriage widths from 6 mm, allowing them to be easily integrated into a wide variety of systems.
This is precisely why they are used wherever movements not only have to function, but also have to impress: in laboratory automation systems that transport samples smoothly and with repeatable accuracy; in diagnostic modules in which optical assemblies are guided precisely and with low vibration; in micro-robotics for medical technology that controls the finest movements; or in analysis devices that require maximum stability despite the tightest tolerances. Wherever space is limited, requirements are high and processes are sensitive, miniature guides provide a reliable mechanical basis for powerful, durable and safe devices.
A special advantage: miniature guides are manufactured as standard in our Hires type – HIWIN Resistant. This means that all essential steel components, such as blocks, profile rails, rolling elements, lubrication connectors and screws, are made of corrosion-resistant martensitic steel. This choice of material ensures high resistance to cleaning agents and disinfectants, which are regularly used in medical technology, and makes the guides particularly suitable for hygiene-critical applications.
If you would like to experience the engineering expertise that has gone into these small components, be sure to visit the HIWIN stand. There, we will be demonstrating live how miniature guides open up completely new possibilities – for devices that are smaller, smarter and more reliable than ever before.
