HGL25CA Low-Profile Linear Guide Block — 25 mm Square Type, Interchangeable
The HGL25CA is the low-profile version of the HG 25 mm square block. It runs on the same HGR25 rail with the same hole spacing, but the block sits lower, so a frame that cannot be raised still takes a machine-tool grade guide. Interchangeable blocks are supplied in Z0/ZA preload and C/H/P accuracy.

Where this block is used
The low body keeps the carriage close to the rail, which matters when the frame height is fixed by an existing design: retrofit axes, grinding heads and machines where the original block sat low. It runs on the same rail and hole spacing as the standard-height block, so the change is in height, not in the mounting.
Mounting: rails and blocks are bolted to machined faces. Rail bolts are tightened from the centre outwards in the sequence given in the catalogue, and running accuracy is checked with a dial gauge before the carriage is loaded. Lubrication is by grease nipple or oil port; the re-greasing interval follows load and duty cycle, so it is agreed with the customer rather than fixed on the datasheet.
Matching rail
HGR25 rail is cut to order from 100 mm. See rail options.

FAQ
| Is HGL25CA interchangeable with HGH25CA? | Both run on the HGR25 rail with the same hole spacing, but the block heights differ. Tell us the height you have and we confirm which one fits. |
| Can the block and rail be bought separately? | Yes, in Z0/ZA preload and C/H/P accuracy. SP/UP accuracy and ZB preload are supplied as a matched set only. |
| Which rail length do I need? | Give us the stroke and the hole count, or use the rail calculator. HGR rails are cut to order from 100 mm. |
