Advanced roller guideways for precision-driven and heavy-duty motion systems

Following its debut at EMO 2025, the UR series officially enters the market as a performance upgrade to the established RG platform. The new product has been developed to meet the increasing demands of modern machinery, supporting applications ranging from toolmaking and special-purpose machines to automated production systems, large-scale component guidance and heavy-duty handling.

At the core of the UR series is an optimized roller geometry designed to deliver superior load performance and consistent motion behavior. The system achieves significant gains in capability, including increased static and dynamic load ratings as well as extended service life. These improvements directly translate into higher machining precision, improved surface quality and enhanced process stability, even under extreme operating conditions.

A defining innovation is the patented 360-degree lubrication distribution, which ensures uniform lubricant supply to all rolling elements regardless of installation orientation. This design not only enhances reliability but also reduces lubricant consumption and supports long-term stable operation in challenging environments.

The guideway is further equipped with advanced sealing technology to protect against contamination, while optional integrated measurement systems enable seamless integration into automated and digitally controlled processes. A broad range of configurations—including different carriage types, sizes and load classes—allows the system to be tailored precisely to specific application requirements.

With the UR series, HIWIN delivers a high-performance solution that supports the evolution of machine design toward greater precision, efficiency and durability. The new product is positioned as a key enabler for next-generation industrial systems where performance and reliability are critical.

The UR series will also be showcased at Hannover Messe, where visitors can explore its technical features in detail and discuss application-specific configurations for optimized machine performance.
