Compatible Replacement for HIWIN HGH20CA
This 20mm linear guide block is engineered as a 100% interchangeable alternative to the HIWIN HGH20CA. It matches the original datasheet
specifications for dimensions, load ratings (17.75 kN), and
stiffness, making it an ideal cost-effective solution for CNC
routers, pick & place machines, and linear stages.
Engineering Data / Performance Specs
Dimensions and load ratings comply with ISO standard series for
Size 20.

| Mounting Bolt Size | M5 x 16 |
Structure & Features
- 4-Row Circular Arc Design: Features a 45° contact angle design that ensures equal load
capacity in all four directions (radial, reverse radial, and
lateral). This is critical for maintaining accuracy under complex
loads.
- Material Standard: Block body and balls are manufactured using GCr15 Bearing Steel, hardened to HRC 60-62 for excellent wear resistance.
Lubrication Guide
⚠️ Critical: Blocks are shipped with anti-rust oil, NOT lubricant. You must
grease them before use.
- Grease Type: Lithium Soap-based Grease (NLGI No.2).
- Initial Fill Amount: Approx. 2 cm³ per block (Fill slowly until grease overflows
slightly).
- Refill Interval: Every 100km of travel distance, or every 3-6 months depending on
operating speed.
- Method: Inject via the supplied M5 grease nipple.
Installation & Mounting
- Surface Prep: Ensure the mounting surface is flat. Rough surfaces will reduce
accuracy and lifespan.
- Datum Plane: Press the block reference edge firmly against the mounting
shoulder before tightening.
- Torque Sequence: Tighten the 4 bolts (M5) diagonally (X-pattern) in 2-3 stages. Do
not fully tighten one bolt at a time.
Accuracy & Preload Class
Accuracy Options:- C (Normal): +/- 0.1mm (Standard Stock)
- H (High): +/- 0.03mm (Recommended for Precision)
Preload Options:- Z0 (Light): Smooth motion for automation.
- ZA (Medium): Recommended for CNC routers.
Packaging
Included in Box: 1x HGH20CA Linear Block, 1x Grease Nipple (M5).
Protection: Vacuum sealed in anti-rust bag, individually boxed.
