A track member or a movable member constituting a motion guide device includes a rolling part formed of a metal material contacting with a plurality of rolling bodies and forming a rolling body rolling surface a, a mounting part formed of a metal material having a mounting hole for mounting an external member, and a track body or a movable body formed of FRP jointed with the rolling part and the mounting part and forming the track member or the movable member, and the mounting part and the track body or the movable body have joint holes, opened in a direction orthogonal to a lamination direction of FRP reinforced fiber sheets S forming the track body or the movable body at a time of the joint, and can be jointed using jointing means. An external member can be securely mounted to the motion guide device formed of FRP.

A drive shaft has a tubular portion extending between axial ends and is hollow. There are deformations on the tubular portions. The deformations extend for a circumferential extent that is less than 180 about a central axis of the tubular portion.

A method for producing a pendulum arrangement of a pendulum laser device includes producing a universal joint of a pendulum of the pendulum arrangement by forming two orthogonal, at least partially micro-structured shafts via plastic injection moulding and positioning at least two bearing shells on the at least partially micro-structured regions of at least one shaft of the universal joint. The method further includes producing an optic carrier of the pendulum of the pendulum arrangement as a single piece with the bearing shells by overmoulding at least two bearing shells surrounding a shaft of the universal joint via plastic injection moulding. The optic carrier is connected to the universal joint such that it is configured to rotate about the one shaft.

A composite transmission shaft includes a shaft portion, and a flanged end fitting. The flanged end fitting comprises a flared sleeve comprising a tubular portion and a flared portion, and a reinforcement portion fixed to the flared portion of the sleeve. The flanged end fitting and shaft portion have been resin transfer moulded together to form the transmission shaft.

A suspension upright assembly for a vehicle provides a wheel hub bearing and a suspension upright including a fiber-reinforced composite bushing arranged around the wheel hub bearing, attachment members for attaching the suspension upright to a suspension assembly and to a brake caliper of the vehicle, and a fiber-reinforced composite truss-structure that connects at least one of the attachment members to the bushing and/or to a further one of the attachment members.

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 track member or a movable member constituting a motion guide device includes a rolling part formed of a metal material contacting with a plurality of rolling bodies and forming a rolling body rolling surface a, a mounting part formed of a metal material having a mounting hole for mounting an external member, and a track body or a movable body formed of FRP jointed with the rolling part and the mounting part and forming the track member or the movable member, and the mounting part and the track body or the movable body have joint holes, opened in a direction orthogonal to a lamination direction of FRP reinforced fiber sheets S forming the track body or the movable body at a time of the joint, and can be jointed using jointing means. An external member can be securely mounted to the motion guide device formed of FRP.

A bearing support includes at least one sliding bearing defined by the bearing support and/or at least one rolling-element bearing having an outer raceway defined by the bearing support. The bearing support is formed from a fiber-plastic composite and includes an integrally formed sliding surface of the sliding bearing and/or an integrally formed raceway for rolling elements of the rolling-element bearing, and the fiber-plastic composite includes a matrix into which spatially oriented sliding fibers, for example, PTFE fibers, are embedded in a region of the sliding surface of the sliding bearing and/or a region of the raceway of the rolling-element bearing.

A track member or a movable member constituting a motion guide device includes a rolling part formed of a metal material contacting with a plurality of rolling bodies and forming a rolling body rolling surface a, a mounting part formed of a metal material having a mounting hole for mounting an external member, and a track body or a movable body formed of FRP jointed with the rolling part and the mounting part and forming the track member or the movable member, and the mounting part and the track body or the movable body have joint holes, opened in a direction orthogonal to a lamination direction of FRP reinforced fiber sheets S forming the track body or the movable body at a time of the joint, and can be jointed using jointing means. An external member can be securely mounted to the motion guide device formed of FRP.
