Compact Linear Guides

The Limon EGH and EGW carriage blocks are compact-profile linear guide carriages designed to pair with the EGR rail series. As low-profile counterparts to the standard HGH (square type) and HGW (flanged type) blocks, the EGH and EGW offer reduced overall height while retaining the high rigidity and load-handling capability that Limon’s linear motion systems are known for.

Both carriage types feature a four-row ball circulation design, which provides balanced load support in all four directions: radial, reverse radial, and lateral. This symmetrical load capacity ensures smooth and stable motion, even under complex or multi-directional forces, making them suitable for high-cycle industrial applications where compact size and performance are both required.

The EGH carriage is a square-type block optimized for narrow installations and direct mounting where space is limited. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for machines and assemblies where height and width must be minimized without compromising structural support or travel precision. The EGW carriage, with its integrated flange, offers a wider footprint and greater mounting stability, especially in applications where installation from above is preferred or where larger moments may be encountered during operation.

Despite their reduced profile, both EGH and EGW carriages maintain exceptional accuracy and smooth travel thanks to Limon’s strict dimensional control and precision grinding processes. The internal components are engineered to provide low-friction motion and consistent preload characteristics, ensuring reliable tracking over long periods of use. Ball retainers are included as standard, preventing ball loss during assembly or maintenance, which adds convenience for installation and service in the field.

These carriages are fully compatible with Limon’s EGR linear rails and are dimensionally comparable to other industry-standard compact series. They are available in sizes ranging from 15 mm to 30 mm, with matched rail and block sets typically held in UK stock by Kiwi Motion. For larger projects or tailored configurations, our team also supports fast procurement and rail cutting to ±0.1 mm accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit for your application.

Ideal for use in compact automation equipment, electronics manufacturing, laboratory systems, and lightweight machinery, the EGH and EGW blocks offer a smart combination of space efficiency and mechanical reliability. Whether you need a square block for confined assemblies or a flanged block for easy mounting and higher moment resistance, Limon’s compact linear carriages are engineered to deliver precision motion in tight spaces.

When paired with EGR rails and supported by Kiwi Motion’s UK-based stock and custom cutting service, EGH and EGW carriages provide a complete, compact linear guide solution with no compromise on quality or performance.
