Failure to comply with the maximum screw length can cause damage to the block.
The block mounting holes for the HIWIN rail guideways in the QH, QE and QW series are linked to the ball return channels
(see Fig. 5.41). Using screws that are too long can damage the rolling elements.
X Do not exceed the maximum screw lengths specified in Table 5.3!
ATTENTION!
The linear guideway’s load-bearing capacity is often restricted – not by its load-bearing strength, but by the
screw connection. We therefore recommend checking the screw connection’s maximum permissible load-
bearing capacity in accordance with VDI 2230.
5.4.2.2 Specific features to bear in mind when assembling an adjacent structure on RG, QR and CG blocks
Each block in the RG, QR and CG series is provided with two additional central threaded holes. These are sealed with green
seal stoppers on delivery.
In order to achieve high rigidity for the linear guideway even in cases of high loads, we generally recommend using all avail-
able threaded holes to fix the adjacent structure in place.
In blocks from the RGW and QRW series, you also have the option of securing your adjacent structure from
below. Before the block is assembled, it must be secured to the adjacent structure.
