A module bearing includes a module outer wheel supported by and in contact with a side wall of a gear to guide rotational or linear motion of the gear, a bearing rotor rotatably disposed radially inward of the module outer wheel, and a part-assembly type module inner wheel disposed radially inward of the module outer wheel with the bearing rotor interposed therebetween and connected to the bearing rotor, in which a plurality of separate parts are manufactured and assembled into the part-assembly type module inner wheel to apply a preload to the bearing rotor.

A bearing assembly of a power generation structure including, a rail; and a housing adapted to support the rail; where the housing includes a fixed housing portion attached to a support beam, and an adjustable housing portion attached to rail, where a low friction material is present at an interface between an exterior surface of rail and an interior surface of the adjustable housing portion, where the adjustable housing portion is capable of self-aligning adjustment of at least a portion of the rail out of alignment with a central axis of the support beam.

The present invention relates to a charged particle beam device capable of suppressing table deformation caused by movement of a rolling element of a guide with a simple configuration, and a strain isolation guide structure, a stage using the guide structure, and a charged particle beam device using the stage are proposed, the strain isolation guide structure being characterized in that, in a sample stage including a linear guide including a carriage (201), a rolling element, and a guide rail (202), and a table (105), the carriage (201) and the table (105) are connected via an adapter (401) as an elastically deformable member.

A miniature slider structure having foot portions and a linear slide are provided. The linear slide includes a slider and a slide rail. The slider straddles the slide rail so that the slider can be reciprocated on the slide rail. The slide rail extends in a direction. The slider includes a plate and two opposite foot portions extending downward from the plate. The slider straddles the slide rail through the foot portions. The plate has a mounting surface. Through the polishing process on the mounting surface of the plate, the roughness Ra of the mounting surface is controlled to be in the range of 0.01 microns to 0.1 microns so as to reduce the deformation of the foot portions when the working platform is installed.

Disclosed is an LM guide assembling method using half division, and a computer readable recording medium having a program for executing the same. The method includes: disposing an LM rail on a base; fastening a first hole and a (2.sup.n+1)-th hole; installing an angle measuring device; fastening a (2.sup.n-1+1)-th hole at step S130; respectively disposing the LM blocks on the first hole and the (2.sup.n-1+1)-th hole; disposing the auxiliary shelf on the LM blocks; setting an angle of the auxiliary shelf to a zero angle; moving the two LM blocks to be on a (2.sup.n-1+1)-th hole and a (2.sup.n+1)-th hole, and measuring an angle of the auxiliary shelf; calculating a straightness correction amount; and moving a position of the (2.sup.n-1+1)-th hole by the straightness correction amount, and fastening the hole, wherein, the steps are repeated until n becomes 1.

An alignment system for a workpiece printing machine comprises a stencil support and a workpiece support, and a planarity control mechanism having at least two actuators arranged to effect relative rotation of the stencil support and workpiece support about both the horizontal axes.

Linear motion mechanism sealants capable of operating at low torque when engaging in linear motion which are capable of carrying out sealing with respect to fine particulate several m in diameter, and which are side seal units for sealing gaps at a shaft provided at a front end portion and a back end portion of a slider of a linear motion mechanism equipped with said shaft and said slider which carries out reciprocating linear motion on said shaft, the linear motion mechanism side seal units 4 being characterized in that fibrous surfaces of seal members comprising fibrous material are arranged so as to be directed toward said shaft in such fashion as to abut and conform to the cross-sectional shape of said shaft at the front end portion and the back end portion of the slider.

Herein disclosed is a centrifugally cast pole having a substantially uniform wall thickness along the long axis of the pole. During centrifugal casting, molten metal is poured inside a rotating, tapered mold. As chilled liquid is poured over the outside of the rotating mold, the metal forms, or paints, to the contour of the mold interior creating a metal pole. By precisely controlling casting gyrations such as the spin, travel, pitch, and yaw of the rotating mold and the calibration and physical mechanisms of the casting machine, hollow, tapered, tubular metal poles are produced with previously unknown uniformity of wall thickness. The controlling principles, designs, and mechanisms of this centrifugal casting method enable wall uniformity to extremely high tolerances. By extension, the ability to precisely control the metal volume painted inside the mold allows, as a design choice, wall thickness variation in any embodiment if so desired.
