A transport system is a vacuum processing system that includes a transport device that is provided in a vacuum, and a lubricating agent supply device that supplies lubricating agent to the transport device and provided in the ambient atmosphere. The transport device has a lubricating agent flow channel that is a channel for grease injected to a site subject to lubrication. The lubricating agent supply device has a grease server that stores a lubricating agent in the ambient atmosphere, a lubricating agent supply pipe which is a channel that guides the grease stored in the grease server to the lubricating agent flow channel and that connects the grease server and the lubricating agent flow channel, and an exhaust pump that exhausts the inside of the lubricating agent supply pipe.

A tripot housing and method of manufacture thereof is provided. The tripot housing includes a housing body extending along an axis between a first end having an end wall and an open second end. A drive shaft extends from the end wall along the axis away from the second end. The housing body has an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a guide channel that extends between the first end and the second end. The outer surface has a first region extending axially along a direction from the first end toward the second end to a shoulder that extends radially outwardly from the first region. The outer surface has a second region extending axially from the shoulder toward the second end. A ring has an inner surface disposed in an interference fit on first region and an outer surface extending radially outwardly from the second region.

The invention relates to a transfer system for transporting objects. It includes a guide rail, which has a light-metal main body and at least one guide element, which is connected to the light-metal main body and has a guide surface. A slide for accommodating at least one object and a bearing, which interacts with the guide element and supports the slide on the guide rail in such a way that the slide can move linearly is also included. The guide rail has at least one magnetic fastening means, which makes it possible to temporarily fasten the guide rail by means of a magnetic clamping device, in particular in order to process the guide surface.

The invention provides a machine tool capable of facilitating a switching between a guide bush mode and a non-guide bush mode. A machine tool comprises a headstock provided with a main spindle for gripping a workpiece, a rail extended along a main spindle axis, a first bearing fixed to the headstock and guided on the rail, a second bearing fixed to the headstock on the front side of the first bearing and guided on the rail, a supporting bed on which a guide bush is removably mounted, and a guide mounted on the supporting bed to movably support the headstock in a direction of the main spindle axis when the guide bush is removed. The rail provides a larger play on the second bearing when the headstock is supported by the guide than when the headstock is not supported by the guide.

A slide structure includes a slide rail and a slide lid. The slide rail includes guide wall portions disposed in a first direction orthogonal to a rail longitudinal direction. A first abutting portion is provided in a guide wall face, and a second abutting portion is provided at a position separated in the rail longitudinal direction relative to the first abutting portion, and separated in a second direction orthogonal to the rail longitudinal direction and the first direction. The slide lid can slide along the rail longitudinal direction between the guide wall portions. A first projecting portion abutting against a top portion of the first abutting portion is provided on one side in a sliding direction, and a second projecting portion abutting against a top portion of the second abutting portion in a state wherein the first projecting portion abuts against the first abutting portion is provided.

A sliding linear motion guide device that is to be provided between a supporting body and a movable body is provided with: a rail (300) having a first guiding surface (302) and second guiding surfaces (304, 306) which are inclined; a carriage (200) having a receiving recess for receiving at least part of the rail and having a first sliding surface (204) facing the first guiding surface of the rail and second sliding surfaces (206, 208) facing the respective second guiding surfaces; and sliding members (10) each of which is a thin plate attached to one of the sliding surfaces. The sliding members each have a lubricant pocket (14) which is a recess surrounded by a land part (12).

A Collision Bearing within a channel means, expressing the universal physical principle of collision. An assembly of two weight-bearing bearings, in two embodiments, for the purpose of moving objects. A slide plate must be attached to the support body of the bearings, whose width is in sliding contact with the inner channel walls, to align the motion of the bearings along the channel. This channel having a flange member, which retains the Collision Bearing within the channel. These two functions, rolling and sliding, simultaneously, demonstrates the universal physical principle of collision being claimed, and places the Collision Bearing in the category of a basic machine in the field of mechanics, as is for example, the nut and bolt. Impact pads are attached to the end walls of the bearing support body as a necessary component part in protecting this body.

A furniture drive for retracting a movably supported furniture part into a closed position relative to a furniture carcass, including a housing, an entrainment member which can be releasably coupled to the movable furniture part, a spring device for applying a force to the entrainment member, at least one guide path arranged or formed on the housing, wherein the entrainment member is displaceably arranged along the guide path, wherein the guide path includes a first bend for releasably locking the entrainment member, wherein the guide path includes at least one second bend for releasably locking the entrainment member, wherein at least one movably-supported switch element with a first and with a second switching position is provided, wherein the switch element, in the first switching position, blocks the first bend so that the entrainment member can move into the second bend and wherein the switch element, in the second switching position, unblocks the first bend so that the entrainment member can move into the first bend.

A sliding door guide, including a rail designed to be fastened against a vertical panel, the rail extending along a longitudinal axis, and a carriage designed to be fastened to the door, the carriage being provided with means for sliding along the rail, the sliding means including a stop opposing the movement of the carriage relative to the rail in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the stop can deform elastically under the effect of a force in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, so as to allow a separation between the carriage and the rail.

To provide a simple seat fastening device with enhanced flexibility and the possibility of an easy movement of vehicle seats, a seat fastening device for fastening vehicle seats in a vehicle is provided comprising a seat track and a slider in a sliding engagement with the seat track. The slider includes a seat fixation element to fix a foot of a vehicle seat, wherein the seat track includes a C-shaped profile and the slider includes a base inserted in the C-shaped profile and wherein the slider includes a clamp to clamp the slider against an inner surface of the C-shaped profile. At least one linear roller contact bearing is located between the C-shaped profile and the slider.
