Ultra-wide and low center of gravity
   The SHW-thpe LM guide design conforms to that of the HRW type and continues the HRW tradition of wide rails and a low center of gravity. This construction makes SHW-type LM guides the ideal choice for locations where space is very limited and regidity under moment load is required.

4 - way equal load rating
   This type of LM guide canbe used in a wide range of applications in any position because each row of balls is arranged at a 45⁰ angle. Consequently, the same load rating is applied to the LM block in all four direction (radial, reverse radial and both leteral direction).

Self aligning capability
   The self aligning capability of THK's unique circular arc groove design (face-to-face/DF) means that mounting misalinment can be eliminated,even when a preload ls applied, and allows high-precision,smooth linear movement.

Low dust generation
   The cages ball_TH technology consruction used in SHW-type bearings provides extremely low levels of dust generation due to ability to retain lubricant.
