A self-lubricating slide module is provided. The slide module comprises a rail and a slider. The slider includes a metal member and a plastic member, wherein the metal member includes at least one engaging structure. The plastic member binds to the metal member by injection molding, so as to cover at least a portion of the metal member, and be embedded into the engaging structure to firmly engage to each other.

A drawer slide having first and second rails interconnected by a center rail. The center rail includes a spool configured to provide half-speed travel of the center rail relative to the travel of the first rail. The drawer slide is configured for use with a drawer assembly having a drawer and a chassis. The drawer assembly further includes a radius limiter secured to the center rail. The radius limiter travels at half-speed relative to the drawer. The radius limiter also automatically rotates relative to the travel of the drawer. The chassis includes sides including threaded backing plates, and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include tri-lobed holes for receipt of a reciprocally shaped washer and a fastener for mounting the brackets to the chassis sides.

A method of manufacturing a ball screw device includes a nut unit preparation step, a screw shaft preparation step, and an assembly step. In the nut unit preparation step, a nut unit is prepared in which a circulation component, a ball, and a temporary shaft that prevents the ball from falling off are assembled to a nut provided with an inner peripheral track surface. In the screw shaft preparation step, a screw shaft provided with an outer peripheral track surface is prepared. In the assembly step, after the nut unit preparation step and the screw shaft preparation step, the temporary shaft of an arbitrary nut unit is replaced with an arbitrary screw shaft to manufacture the ball screw device.
