THK HCR Series Full-Ball LM Guide (Curved Type)
The THK HCR Series is a curved guide that allows clearance-free, highly accurate circular motion, something sliding guides and cam followers can’t match. It shares the same basic structure as THK’s proven 4-way equal load HSR Series, and multiple LM blocks can move independently along the same curved rail, so you can position blocks right at your load points for an efficient structural design.
It supports circular motion with a radius of 5m or more, which is beyond what swivel bearings can achieve, and since it simply bolts together like a standard LM Guide, it’s easy to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble in equipment that needs circular movement. It’s available in sizes 12, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 65.
