Linear Guides for Packaging Machinery — High-Cycle HG and EG
Packaging machines run millions of cycles, often in dusty or washdown areas, and downtime is expensive. The guide is chosen for service life and easy replacement rather than peak load. HG handles the main strokes; EG low-profile guides fit tight frames.
What goes wrong on this axis
- Very high cycle counts with short strokes
- Film dust and paper particles collecting on the rail
- Replacement without stripping the machine
Recommended series
HG ball guide
Main strokes and heavier carriages from 15 to 35 mm.
EG low-profile guide
Lower mounting height where the frame is tight.
E2 self-lubricating guide
Replaceable oil reservoir for hard-to-reach axes.

FAQ
| How do I estimate guide life on a packaging machine? | Life depends on load, stroke and lubrication. Give us the cycle rate and the load per block and we will run the rating calculation rather than quote a generic figure. |
| HG or EG for a tight frame? | EG has a lower mounting height for the same rail size. If the frame has room, HG is the more common choice and easier to source. |
| Can I replace a worn block on the same rail? | Yes, up to accuracy P and preload ZA. Keep the rail protected during the swap and check the wipers before fitting a new block. |
