A linear guideway includes a rail, a slider disposed on the rail, and a load passage formed between the rail and the slider. The slider has two non-load passages penetrating through two opposite end surfaces of the slider. Each of two ends of each non-load passage is provided with a force sensor. Two end caps are disposed on two opposite end surfaces of the slider respectively and each have two circulation grooves. Each circulation groove is connected to an end of the load passage and an end of the non-load passage to form a circulation channel for balls to move therein. As a result, the linear guideway of the present invention employs force sensors to sense the force-receiving state of two ends of the non-load passages when they are impacted by the balls, so that it can be determined that if the balls have an abnormal pressing state.

The present invention shows a telescopic rail having at least one inner, middle, and outer rail element, wherein the inner and outer rail elements are each longitudinally displaceably supported at the middle rail element over rolling members that are guided in a rolling member cage. Provision is made in accordance with a first aspect that the rail elements are mechanically force-coupled via a rail synchronization arrangement such that on a longitudinal displacement of the outer rail element with respect to the inner rail element, the middle rail element is longitudinally displaced with respect to both the inner rail element and the outer rail element. Provision is made in accordance with a second aspect that at least one rolling member cage, and preferably both rolling member cages, is/are mechanically force-coupled to at least one of the rail elements via a respective rolling member cage synchronization arrangement such that a longitudinal displacement of the middle rail element with respect to the inner or outer rail elements results in a longitudinal displacement of the corresponding rolling member cage with respect to the middle rail element.

A drawer slide assembly includes first and second rails, a drawer frame member, a mounting device, and an inserting member. The second rail is longitudinally movable with respect to the first rail. The drawer frame member is connected to the second rail and includes a carrier and a drawer sidewall connected to the carrier. The mounting device is connected to the drawer frame member and/or the second rail and includes an engaging member and a guiding member. The engaging member has an engaging portion corresponding to the guiding member. The inserting member corresponds to the guiding member and can be inserted thereinto to displace the engaging member to an engaged position and, by engaging with the engaging portion, be mounted to the mounting device.

A door roller mechanism for cooperation with a roller track including a carriage member having a door attachment feature; at least one roller disposed for rotation on a first side of the carriage member when the carriage member moves in the rolling direction; at least one roller disposed for rotation on an opposite second side of the carriage member when the carriage member moves in the rolling direction; a first rub member disposed on the first side of the carriage; a second rub member disposed on the second side of the carriage; and at least one biasing element disposed on the carriage member for resiliently biasing the first rub member and the second rub member in opposite lateral directions so as to contact a respective first track surface and a second track surface in a manner to dampen lateral vibration of a door connected to the roller mechanism.

A door track assembly for cooperation with a door roller mechanism, including a housing having a longitudinal channel along a length of the housing, wherein the channel descends at an end of the housing to form a stowage recess for the door roller mechanism, and a first track and a second track that are disposed on the housing along a length of the channel and that descend into the stowage recess and along which the door roller mechanism traverses.

A linear module includes: a base, a slide stage, two support frames, two retaining units and a steel belt. With the pivoting freedom given by the guide portions of the retaining units, when the slide stage moves, the rolling elements can be abutted more closely against the contact surface of the steel belt via the pivoting of the guide portions, so as to reduce the occurrence of deformation and clearance produced by the steel belt, which not only improves the sealing performance of the steel belt and operation smoothness of the linear module, but also produces a dust proof effect, thus achieving the purposes of automatically adjusting contact angle, preventing deformation while extending the life of the steel belt.

Cleaning system (100) including a brush assembly (102) for cleaning solar panels (106). The brush assembly has at least one rotatable brush (403) having a rotational axis. The rotatable brush includes a plurality of sets of bristles (2004), each extending outwardly from a core (2008). A shaft (2005) extends through the core of the brush. The shaft is a telescoping shaft, which is configured to retract and expand to create an elongated brush assembly. An apparatus, system, and method for conveying an assembly along a track. A rail (401) includes a first planar side, a second planar side, and a third planar side. The first, second, and third planar sides are arranged to form at least two acute angles ranging between 50 degrees and 80 degrees. A carriage assembly (300) includes a drive wheel (301) and at least two rollers (302). The drive wheel is configured to contact the second planar side and is configured to translate the assembly along the rail. The two rollers are configured to contact the two other sides to maintain the carriage in contact with the rail.

A pinion needle roller bearing post for use during pinion gear carrier assembly includes a solid cylindrical post having a longitudinal surface wall extending between a first end and a second end. At least one radially recessed channel is disposed in the longitudinal surface and extends substantially between the first end and the second end and a spring biased needle roller is disposed within the at least one radially recessed channel that operates to prevent needle roller bearing skew during pinion gear carrier assembly.

A linear transport system for conveying an object, wherein the linear transport system comprises at least one stationary guide rail and at least one movable conveying device, wherein the conveying device comprises a first guide unit having a first track roller, a second track roller and a first turntable, wherein the first track roller and the second track roller are mounted in a rotatable manner at the first turntable and lie against the guide rail, wherein the guide rail comprises a longitudinal rail axis extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the first turntable is mounted about a turntable axis in a rotatable manner, wherein the turntable axis is arranged in an inclined manner, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal rail axis.
