Who is HIWIN and what does it make?
HIWIN is a Taiwanese manufacturer of linear motion and precision components, with the European subsidiary HIWIN GmbH at Offenburg, Germany. The range we can quote covers ball and roller linear guideways, ball screws (rolled shafts and nuts), complete linear modules and axes, plus linear bearings for screw shafts. The components are designed for machine tools, automation lines and robotic cells, where positioning accuracy matters more than the raw cost of the part.
The HIWIN catalogue covers a wide range of sizes under the same brand: from miniature guideways of the MGN/MGW series, in MGN sizes from 2 to 15 mm, to HG/QH series guideways with blocks capable of dynamic loads of tens of thousands of newtons. The QH/QE/QW series adds SynchMotion™ technology, with a ball chain instead of individual spacers, for quieter running at high speeds. Rolled ball screw shafts cover diameters from 8 to 63 mm, with flanged or cylindrical nuts mounted on the threaded end.
For the Romanian market, HIWIN means access to a fine range of sizes for machine tool retrofits, where the customer already has a guideway or a screw installed and is looking for the exact equivalent by code.
What do we supply from the HIWIN range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| HG/QH and EG/QE series linear ball guideways | Profiled blocks and rails for linear guiding, with high block (HGH/EGH), low block (HGL) or flanged (HGW/EGW) variants. In the EG series, the EGH15SA block measures 24×34×40.1 mm with a dynamic load of 5,350 N, and EGH35CA reaches 33,350 N dynamic and 64,840 N static. The QH/QE variant with SynchMotion technology replaces the individual spacers between balls with a continuous chain, for quieter running. Typical application: axes on machine tools and machining centres. |
| MGN/MGW HIRES miniature linear guideways | Small guideways, in MGN sizes from 2 to 15 mm, in high block (MGN) or flanged (MGW) variants, each in standard (C) or increased load (H) type. The MGN15H model, with the peak load of the series, has 6,370 N dynamic and 9,110 N static, and dimensions go down to MGN02C. Suitable for compact equipment, where the mounting space is limited. |
| Ball screws — rolled shafts and FSCDIN/RSIT nuts | Rolled ball screw shafts, in diameters from 8 to 63 mm and leads from 2.5 to 40 mm, with flanged nuts (FSCDIN/FSIDIN, DEB, DDB) or cylindrical nuts (RSIT, RSI, ZE, SE), plus SEM safety nut and AME driven unit. An example from the catalogue: R20-05K4-FSCDIN, diameter 20 mm, lead 5 mm. They are used on translation axes and XY tables where rotation has to be converted into linear movement with low backlash. |
| HM/HT/HB/HC series complete modules and linear axes | Ready-assembled axes, with toothed belt drive (HM-B, HT-B, HB-B, HC-B), ball screw drive (HM-S, HT-S), rack drive (HB-R, HC-R) or linear motor drive (HT-L, HB-L, CV), plus KK/KF precision axes. The stroke is freely chosen, in steps of millimetres. They are completed by cross-table type modules (LMX, LMSSA). Useful as complete subassemblies, without separate mounting of guideway, screw and motor. |
Why HIWIN?

How do we supply HIWIN in Romania?
We work from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we state clearly what we confirm before the quotation. We bring in HIWIN guideways and ball screws to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks — we do not hold this range on our shelves. For a correct quotation we need the full code from the block or shaft (e.g. HGW25CC, MGN12H, R20-05K4-FSCDIN), the length of the part and, for a repair, a photo of the existing installation. We do not promise warehouse availability.
The availability of a specific code, especially for the less common sizes in the miniature range or for long rolled shafts, is checked with the supplier on each request.
Frequently asked questions about HIWIN
What products does HIWIN make?
HIWIN makes ball and roller linear guideways, ball screws, complete linear modules and axes, plus linear bearings, used mainly on machine tools, automation lines and robotic cells. The range goes from miniature guideways a few millimetres wide to industrial blocks capable of loads of tens of thousands of newtons.
How do I choose a HIWIN linear guideway by code?
The full code on the block (for example HGW25CC or MGN12H) indicates the series, the rail width and the mounting variant; copy it exactly as engraved, together with the length of the existing rail, and we check the equivalent available to order.
What ball screw diameters does HIWIN offer?
HIWIN rolled shafts cover diameters from 8 to 63 mm, with leads from 2.5 to 40 mm, fitted with flanged nuts (FSCDIN series) or cylindrical nuts (RSIT, RSI). The right choice depends on the axial load and the travel speed required by the application.
How long does delivery take in Romania for HIWIN products?
We bring in HIWIN products to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation; we do not hold this range on our shelves, so the exact lead time depends on the availability confirmed by the manufacturer for the code requested.
What data should I send for a quotation on a HIWIN guideway or screw?
You need to send the full code engraved on the block or shaft, the length of the rail or shaft and, if you are replacing a worn part, a photo of the installation. With these data we check the exact equivalent in the HIWIN range before confirming the quotation.
How do I request a HIWIN quotation?
Send the HIWIN code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
