SHAC GHW Linear Block — GHR Series Heavy-Duty Flanged Linear Guide Block
Wide mounting base. High rigidity. Verified SHAC–HIWIN interchangeability.
The SHAC GHW Linear Block is a heavy-duty, wide-body flanged recirculating ball carriage designed for accurate and reliable linear motion in CNC routers, milling machines, machine tools, gantry systems and industrial automation. Its broad mounting footprint provides a stable connection to the moving structure and supports applications where rigidity, load capacity and resistance to overturning moments are important. The GHR Series ball-circulation geometry provides smooth, low-friction travel and load capacity in the radial, reverse-radial and lateral directions.
Vallder offers the commonly used GHW15CC, GHW20CC, GHW25CC and GHW30CC models on this product page. These selected sizes cover a broad range of CNC and industrial linear-axis requirements, while additional GHR Series sizes may be available by request. Each block must be paired with a rail of the corresponding nominal size.

Key Features and Applications
Key Features:
- Wide-body flanged carriage:
The GHW format provides a broad mounting base and multiple fixing points for a stable connection to the machine structure. - Heavy-duty recirculating-ball system:
The internal ball circuit provides smooth movement and supports demanding CNC and industrial duty cycles. - Equal four-direction load capacity:
The raceway geometry supports radial, reverse-radial and lateral loads for flexible axis orientation. - Integrated sealing and lubrication:
End and side seals help protect the ball circuit, while the grease port supports scheduled relubrication. - Standard profile geometry:
Corresponding SHAC GHR and HIWIN HG components can be combined when the series, nominal size and technical configuration match.
Application:
Suitable for CNC routers, milling machines, engraving systems, laser and plasma equipment, machine tools, gantry axes, machining centres, pick-and-place systems and industrial positioning assemblies that require a wide mounting platform, rigidity and repeatable linear movement.
SHAC–HIWIN Series Compatibility
SHAC has confirmed to Vallder that the GHR Series rail and block geometry is interchangeable with the corresponding HIWIN HG Series, and Vallder has verified this compatibility in practice. Components of the same nominal size can therefore be combined in both directions:
- SHAC GHW-CC block series ↔ HIWIN HGW-CC block series
- SHAC GHR rail series ↔ HIWIN HGR rail series
- SHAC GHW-CC blocks can run on corresponding HIWIN HGR rails.
- HIWIN HGW-CC blocks can run on corresponding SHAC GHR rails.
Compatibility note:
Always match the nominal size and verify the required accuracy class, preload, sealing arrangement and lubrication specification for the application. Mechanical interchangeability does not mean that load ratings or factory configuration codes are identical between manufacturers.
Vallder Supply and Technical Support
Vallder Ltd directly imports original SHAC linear motion components and supports customers with block and rail selection, replacement identification and compatibility checks. For replacement projects, provide the complete marking from the existing block or rail together with the required accuracy, preload and operating conditions.
⚠️ Use matched, specification-controlled components. Unbranded or off-spec alternatives may use different raceway tolerances, preload or sealing arrangements, which can affect smoothness, service life and positioning repeatability.
FAQ frequently asked questions
Are SHAC GHW blocks interchangeable with HIWIN linear guide components?
Yes. SHAC has confirmed, and Vallder has verified, that corresponding SHAC GHR Series and HIWIN HG Series blocks and rails are mechanically interchangeable when the nominal size matches. SHAC GHW-CC blocks can run on HIWIN HGR rails, and HIWIN HGW-CC blocks can run on SHAC GHR rails.
What is the difference between GHW and GHH blocks?
GHW is the wide-body flanged carriage format with a broad mounting footprint. GHH is the compact square-body, non-flanged format. Both belong to the SHAC GHR Series and use corresponding GHR rails, but their carriage shape and mounting dimensions are different.
Which GHW block size should I choose?
Select the block according to the matching rail size, axis load, static moment, required rigidity and available mounting space. The block and rail must have the same nominal size, such as GHW20CC with a GHR20 or HGR20 rail.
Is the rail included with the GHW block?
No. This product listing is for one SHAC GHW linear block. The matching SHAC GHR Series rail is ordered separately according to the required nominal size and length.
Can the GHW block be mounted in different orientations?
Yes. The block can be used in horizontal, vertical, inverted or wall-mounted axes when the machine design, load direction and lubrication arrangement are correctly specified.
How is the GHW block lubricated?
Lubrication is applied through the integrated grease nipple. Use a lubricant suitable for recirculating linear guides and set the relubrication interval according to travel, load, speed and environmental contamination.
