THK SHS-LE Series LM Guide with Linear Encoder

The THK SHS-LE Series combines THK’s global standard SHS Caged Ball LM Guide with a THK linear encoder in one integrated unit. This cuts down on assembly time and lets you build a more compact machine design, since you don’t need to mount and align a separate encoder alongside the guide.

The underlying SHS design uses THK’s Caged Technology, with a synthetic resin cage cradling each ball at a 45° contact angle, so it can be used in any orientation while running smoothly and quietly. It’s available in sizes from 20 to 45, across several block types including flanged, wide, and long-block designs, giving you flexibility in how you mount it.
