DLY Cross Roller Guide Way is designed for compact linear motion systems that require high rigidity, smooth movement and stable positioning in limited installation space. The structure uses precision guide rails, slider blocks and crossed cylindrical rollers to support accurate linear movement with multi-directional load capacity.
Compared with ordinary linear guide structures, a cross roller guide way is often selected for precision slides, adjustment platforms, optical equipment, automation modules, measuring devices and compact positioning mechanisms where low friction, stable micro-feed and space-saving installation are important.
Main supply scope:
Cross roller guide way assemblies, crossed roller slide blocks, guide rail sets, HWX series model confirmation, customized travel length, mounting hole confirmation, lubrication accessories and export packaging according to customer drawings or application requirements.

Product Structure and Working Principle
The cross roller guide way uses crossed cylindrical rollers arranged between precision raceways. This structure increases the contact area compared with ordinary point-contact rolling elements, helping the guideway support vertical load, horizontal load and moment load in a compact structure.
Crossed Roller Arrangement
The rollers are arranged in alternating directions to support load from different directions within a compact rail structure.
Compact Linear Slide Design
The structure can reduce the need for additional intermediate slide plates, helping equipment designers save installation space.
Smooth Micro-Feed Motion
Rolling contact helps reduce friction, making the guideway suitable for precise adjustment and low-speed positioning movement.
Custom Travel Support
Guide rail length, slider quantity and mounting hole requirements can be confirmed according to drawings or machine structure.
Cross Roller Guide Way vs Standard Linear Guide
Cross roller guide ways and standard ball linear guides are both used for linear motion, but their structure and selection focus are different. Cross roller guide ways are often used in compact precision slides, while standard linear guides are more common in longer-stroke automation and machine tools.
| Item | Cross Roller Guide Way | Standard Linear Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Element | Crossed cylindrical rollers | Steel balls or rollers depending on series |
| Main Advantage | Compact structure, high rigidity, stable micro-feed | Longer stroke, easy modular installation, broad size range |
| Typical Stroke | Short to medium precision stroke | Short, medium or long stroke depending on rail length |
| Selection Focus | Rigidity, moment capacity, installation height, slider length | Load rating, rail length, block type, preload, accuracy grade |
| Typical Use | Precision adjustment table, optical stage, measuring device, compact slide | CNC machines, automation lines, gantry systems, packaging machinery |
Typical Applications
Cross roller guide ways are suitable for applications where compact installation, high rigidity and accurate movement are more important than very long travel length.
Precision Adjustment Tables
Used for compact positioning structures that require smooth motion and stable micro-adjustment.
Optical and Measuring Equipment
Suitable for instrument slides, inspection devices and measuring mechanisms with limited space.
Automation Modules
Used in compact automation units, material positioning mechanisms and precision linear slides.
Dispensing and Assembly Equipment
Applied in small precision motion units for dispensing, alignment, assembly and inspection processes.

FAQ
Q1: What is a cross roller guide way?
A cross roller guide way is a compact linear guide structure using crossed cylindrical rollers between precision raceways. It is used for precision slides, adjustment tables and compact positioning systems.
Q2: What is the difference between HWX20 and HWX20L?
The "L" type is the longer slider version. It usually provides higher rated load and higher allowable static moment than the standard-length model.
Q3: Can DLY customize the guideway length?
Yes. Guideway length, mounting hole arrangement and slider quantity can be confirmed according to your drawing or machine structure.
Q4: What information is needed for model confirmation?
Please provide model, required stroke, total length, load direction, installation space, mounting hole drawing, slider quantity and application equipment.
Q5: Is a cross roller guide way suitable for long-stroke automation?
It is more suitable for compact and precision short-to-medium stroke movement. For very long-stroke automation, standard linear guideways may be more practical depending on load and machine structure.
Q6: Can I replace only the slider block?
Replacement feasibility depends on the guideway model, rail condition, slider fit and mounting dimensions. For replacement orders, please provide old model markings, photos and drawings.
