    Default Noob linear rail question

    I am looking for some linear rails and I am finding some that are "TRH20" and others that are "HGR20". From pictures they look pretty similar to me, is there any difference? Is there one I should choose over the other? I've tried to search everywhere to find what one is better so any help would be good.

    Thanks

    Different manufacturers use different model designations.
    The HGR is made by Hiwin, in Taiwan.
    The THR is a chinese rail.

    You need to compare all of the specs to see what the differences are.
    And while Hiwins are a well known, high quality brand, I don't know anything about the THR. There seem to be more and more chinese linear rails available in the last few years.
