A linear motion guide unit includes a guide rail and a slider. A carriage of the slider has a central portion located above the guide rail, and wing portions which extend downward from widthwise opposite ends of the central portion. Shoulder portions of the carriage located in inner boundary regions between the central portion and the wing portions of the carriage have first inclined surface so that the shoulder portions have padding portions. Corner portions of the guide rail located between an upper surface and longitudinal sides of the guide rail have second inclined surfaces which face the first inclined surfaces of the carriage and extend in the longitudinal direction parallel to the first inclined surfaces. The first inclined surfaces have an inclination angle substantially the same as an inclination angle of the nose surfaces of threaded holes formed in the carriage for attachment of a counterpart member.

A lubricant supplying device has: a mounted member that is mounted to a moving member, which moves along a rail, and that is disposed with an interval between the mounted member and concave portions that are provided in the rail along a length direction of the rail; and a supply path unit that is removably attached to the mounted member, wherein the supply path unit has an introducing port into which a lubricant is supplied, supplying members that project out from the mounted member toward the concave portions and supply the lubricant to rolling surfaces of the concave portions on which rolling bodies that are provided at the moving member roll, and a tubular member that connects the introducing port and the supplying members, and the mounted member has an accommodating portion that is concave and accommodates the supply path unit from the length direction of the rail.

Provided is a sensor mounting structure for a rolling guide device, which enables easy mounting and removal of a sensor of a type among various types with respect to the track rail, the sensor mounting structure including: a sensor holder to be fixed to an end surface of the track rail in a longitudinal direction of the track rail; and a sensor casing to be held on the track rail by the sensor holder, the sensor holder including: a base plate to be fixed to the end surface of the track rail, and a holding plate having one end continuous with the base plate as a fixed end, and another end formed as a free end elastically deformable with respect to the base plate, the holding plate being configured to urge the sensor casing toward the end surface of the track rail by the free end.

The process for coating a guide comprises at least the steps of: supplying a guide (1) made of metallic material and comprising an outer surface (2, 3) provided with a first portion (2) adapted to slide a carriage (4) and a second portion (3) separate from the first portion (2); depositing a first coating layer (9) on the first portion (2) and on the second portion (3); cataphoretic painting the guide (1) adapted to deposit a second coating layer (12) onto the first portion (2) and onto the second portion (3) on top of the first coating layer (9); and removing the second coating layer (12) from the first portion (2).

A seal member for a linear guide including a guide rail and slider movably set on the guide rail through rolling elements, the seal member, attached to the slider, configured to seal an opening of a gap between the guide rail and slider, the seal member includes: fibers having been impregnated with rubber or resin, wherein a sliding contact part of said seal member, which is in sliding contact with the guide rail, is made of the fibers.

A lubricant supply member of a linear guide includes a first recessed part formed above a guide rail, a pair of second recessed parts formed at both left and right side-surface positions of the guide rail, and protrusions slidable on rail side raceway surfaces of the guide rail. A lubricating unit includes a first cylindrical part, arranged in the first recessed part, to allow the first recessed part to move in a vertical direction of the slider, and to press the first recessed part to a widthwise outside of the slider, and a pair of second cylindrical parts, arranged in the pair of second recessed parts, to allow the pair of second recessed parts to move in a width direction of the slider, and to press the pair of second recessed parts in the vertical direction of the slider, respectively.
