A gripping or clamping device including a housing body and at least one jaw guide which is provided in the housing body and has two lateral walls, including at least one jaw which can be moved in the jaw guide along a movement direction, guide surfaces being provided on the lateral walls and the jaw having sliding surfaces which interact with the guide surfaces to form a sliding guide, wherein at least one raceway part and rolling elements are provided in the jaw guide, the jaw and the raceway part each having a raceway for abutting against the rolling elements to form a roller guide.

A system includes a carriage configured to move along a rail. The system also includes a clamping brake configured to selectively allow and prevent movement of the carriage along the rail. The clamping brake includes multiple brake pads configured to be moved inward to lock onto the rail and to be moved outward to release the rail. The clamping brake also includes multiple springs configured to apply spring forces that cause the brake pads to move inward and lock onto the rail. The clamping brake further includes a camshaft coupled to or including multiple eccentrics. The eccentrics are configured to overcome the spring forces and cause the brake pads to move outward and release the rail.

A clip for providing a sliding force towards a movable substrate, the clip including at least one strip, where the at least one strip comprises a first axial end and a second axial end and an arcuate shape between the first axial end and the second axial end; where the at least one strip is a metal strip including a sliding layer at an outbound side.

A slide rail assembly includes a bracket device, a driving device and a rail member. The bracket device includes a supporting frame, a bracket and a fastening member. The bracket is arranged on the supporting frame. The driving device and the bracket device are movable relative to each other. The rail member and the bracket device are movable relative to each other. When the rail member is moved relative to the bracket device from a first predetermined position along a direction, the rail member is able to drive the driving device to move from a first position to a second position, in order to drive the fastening member to switch from a first state to a second state.

An object of the present invention is to provide an actuator capable of reducing a shock in acceleration at the time of a turn caused by a load in a lateral direction orthogonal to an axis of the actuator even when the load is excessive while reducing manufacturing cost and manufacturing man-hours, and a tripod structure including the actuator. An actuator according to the present invention includes: a pipe; a ball screw used as a feed screw; a conversion nut used as a feed nut and screwed with the ball screw; a piston fixed integrally to the conversion nut and driven to expand and contract from a free end which is one end of the pipe; and a rolling bearing unit being provided on a tip of the free end of the pipe and including a plurality of roller followers holding the piston movably.

A rail for mobile racking has a continuous groove formed in ae first surface. A second surface is opposite the first surface is substantially flat on a top surface. The width of the universal rail between the first surface and the second surface is of reduced dimension from the first surface and the second surface. The rail may be mounted with the first surface positioned above the second surface when a groove within the elongated universal rail is to be provided for casters having a tongue on a circumference of the caster. The elongated universal rail may be mounted within a floor with the second surface positioned above the first surface, providing a substantially flat surface as a rolling surface for casters not having a tongue formed therein. Reduced dimensions of the sides relative to the first and second surfaces receive concrete therein to hold the rail in place.

A slide bearing for guiding a translationally movable sliding part has a first part having a first guide surface suitable for interacting with a first sliding surface of the sliding part and a second part having a second guide surface suitable for interacting with a second sliding surface of the sliding part. The second part is movable relative to the first part. A guide part is connected to the first part so as to be movable in a first direction and a second direction. A pressure device urges the second part toward the first guide surface such that the first guide surface directly engages the first sliding surface and the second guide surface directly engages the second sliding surface.

A linear guide device includes at least one linear guide unit which has a guide housing, in which two annularly closed circulating channels are formed in each of which a multitude of roller bearing elements is received. The guide housing has a single-piece housing intermediate element which contributes to the formation of the circulating channels and through which passes at least one lubrication channel which communicates with the circulating channels. The lubrication channel passes through the single-piece housing intermediate element and extends partly also in an integral pipe-stub-like lubrication appendix of the single-piece housing intermediate element, wherein the lubrication appendix includes a lubrication opening which is accessible from outside the guide housing for bringing in lubricant.

An engagement assembly, a drawer, and a refrigerator having same. The engagement assembly comprises a first engagement part matching the drawer and a second engagement part matching a refrigerator body; one of the first and second engagement parts is a gear, and the other one is a rack; the rack has a tooth surface that allows the gear to travel; the rack comprises a main rack and an extension rack; when the drawer is in a closed state, the tooth surface has a first stroke length; when the drawer is in an opening process, the extension rack moves to a travel path of the gear so that the tooth surface has a second stroke length; when the drawer is in a closing process, the extension rack is reset; the first stroke length is smaller than the second stroke length. The length of the tooth surface increases in the opening process.

A slide rail includes a first rail, a second rail, and a third rail. The first rail is slidably coupled to the second rail. The second rail is slidably coupled to the third rail. The first rail includes a pulling tab. The second rail includes a first resilient piece and a first clearance slot. The third rail includes a positioning slot. One end of the first resilient piece is fixed to the second rail, and another end of the first resilient piece extends into the first clearance slot. When the first rail slides out, the pulling tab drives the first resilient piece and the second rail to slide out. When the first resilient piece is moved to the positioning slot, the first resilient piece resiliently bends and inserts into the positioning slot, and the first resilient piece is separated from the pulling tab.
