LINEAR MOTION GUIDE BEARING
A linear motion guide bearing 1 includes a rail 10, a slider 20, and a plurality of rolling elements. The slider 20 has formed therein a pair of circulation passages, which are spaces connecting one end and another end in each of a pair of load-carrying races, which are spaces between a pair of first rolling surfaces 41 and a pair of second rolling surfaces 42. In a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the rail 10 includes a bottom wall portion 11, a first side wall portion 12, a second side wall portion 13, and a top wall portion 14. One first rolling surface 41 is made up of a wall surface 15A on an inner side of a first corner portion 15, which is a region where the second side wall portion 13 and the bottom wall portion 11 are connected. The other first rolling surface 41 is made up of a wall surface 16A on an inner side of a second corner portion 16, which is a region where the first side wall portion 12 and the top wall portion 14 are connected.
Linear motion guide unit
A linear motion guide unit includes a rail, a slider slidable relative to the rail, and rolling elements rollable in a rolling groove formed with the rail and the slider. The slider has a lubricating oil supply device provided at least at one end face thereof. The lubricating oil supply device includes a lubricating member that retains lubricating oil and abuts against a raceway surface of the rail to supply the lubricating oil to the rail, a housing having front, rear, and bottom surfaces covering front, rear, and bottom surfaces of the lubricating member, with an upper surface of the housing being left open, and a cover that covers at least an upper surface of the lubricating member. The housing is fixed to the slider with a first fixing member. The cover is fixed to the housing with a second fixing member, without being fixed with the first fixing member.
Guide carriage of a linear guide and method for producing a head piece of a guide carriage
A guide carriage (1) of a linear guide includes a circulation channel (8) for rolling bodies (2), which is formed from a load section (3), two deflection sections (5) and a return section (4). A valve (16) arranged in a lubricant channel (10) to prevent the back flow of lubricant from the circulation channel (8) is arranged at a supply point (13) for supplying lubricating agent to one of the deflection sections (5), and the deflection section (5) is delimited by a deflection shell (9) located in an end piece (7). The valve (16) is formed integrally with at least one of the elements deflection shell (9) and end piece (7).
BALL SPLINE HAVING BYPASS TRACK
A ball spline with detour tracks includes spline shaft, nut part movable along a longitudinal direction of the spline shaft, and balls between the nut part and the spline shaft, wherein the nut part includes nut adapted to insert the spline shaft thereinto and retainers on longitudinal sides of the nut, the spline shaft includes tracks extended along the longitudinal direction, the nut includes load track grooves formed in longitudinal direction on inner peripheral surface into which the spline shaft is inserted and non-load circulating portions formed in the longitudinal direction, each retainer includes circulating grooves on the inner peripheral surface to face the load track groove and non-load circulating portion, the balls run between the tracks and the load track grooves, and each track includes track groove formed in longitudinal direction of the spline shaft and detour tracks whose longitudinal sides are connected to the track groove.
Roller-type linear guideway
A roller type linear guideway includes: a rail, a sliding block sleeved on the rail, and end cover units installed at two ends of the sliding block. One of the end cover units includes a first cover plate, a second cover plate, an open end cover, and an outer end cover. The first cover plate includes a plurality of penetrating holes communicating with the non-load passages, the second cover plate is installed on the first cover plate and includes holes connected to the penetrating holes, and the open end cover is installed on one end of the sliding block and includes through holes communicating with the holes. The outer end cover closes the through holes to allow circulation of multiple rolling elements. The through holes, the holes, and the penetrating holes are connected to the non-load passages, so four rows of rolling elements can be filled simultaneously.
Linear motion device
A linear motion device includes a guiding member extending along a first direction and a slide block assembly slidably disposed on the guiding member. The slide block assembly includes a slide block, two ball race members at two sides of the slide block, two circulation members at two sides of the slide block along the first direction, and two end covers assembled on the circulation members. One or more of the circulation members has two revolve channel members. The revolve channel member has an upper protrusion member and a lower protrusion member protruding out of the upper protrusion member. Since the protruding portion of the lower protrusion member can be served as the bottom surface of the revolve curve, stepped structures caused by assembling or component tolerances are not formed between the bottom surface and nearby portions, and the balls can roll stably in the linear motion device.
LINEAR GUIDE, CARRIAGE, END CAP AND METHOD FOR LUBRICATION
An end cap for a carriage of a linear guide. The end cap has a closed lubrication port which is openable by operatively connecting a lubrication fitting to the lubrication port. The is formed by injection molding and the closed lubrication port of the end cap is formed by rotary demolding.
LINEAR GUIDEWAY WITH LUBRICATING STRUCTURE
A linear guideway includes a rail, a sliding block with two foot members, a circulating member with two receiving chambers, two sets of balls and two lubricating plates. The receiving chambers of the circulating member receive the foot members of the sliding block respectively, so that the rail, each foot member of the sliding block and the circulating member form a circulation channel for one respective set of balls to run. The two lubricating plates are adjacent to the two circulation channels and contact the two sets of balls to provide lubrication to the balls. In this way, the linear guideway conceals two lubricating plates in the sliding block, which can maintain the length of the sliding block without affecting the stroke, and ensure that the running path does not produce a step difference, so that the smooth running of the ball can be kept consistent.
MOTION GUIDE APPARATUS COOLING NOZZLES, MOTION GUIDE APPARATUS WITH COOLING NOZZLES, AND MOTION GUIDE APPARATUS COOLING SYSTEM
A motion guide apparatus cooling nozzle is provided which can gas-cool a motion guide apparatus. Cooling nozzles 1a and 1b of the present invention are mounted on a block 4 of the motion guide apparatus to cool at least one of a guide rail 2 and a block 4 that is assembled to the guide rail 2 via a rolling element 6 in such a manner as to be movable relatively. The cooling nozzles la and 1b include an inner passage 18 into which gas is introduced, an opening 12a configured to emit a gas flow introduced into the inner passage 18, a deflection surface 22a that is provided adjacently to the opening 12a to bend the gas flow emitted from the opening 12a, and a guiding surface 32a configured to attract gas outside the cooling nozzles 1a and 1b.
Rolling bearing guide apparatus
A rolling bearing guide apparatus 1 has a guide rail 2, a slider main body 8, a rolling elements 16, and an end cap 9a, 9b that defines a turn passage 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d that turns the direction of movement of the rolling element 16. The apparatus is provided with a lubrication member 14 impregnated with lubricant, arranged between the slider main body 8 and the end cap 9a, 9b, and partly exposed inside the turn passage 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, enabling lubrication of the rolling element 16 for a long period of time and reducing efforts of maintenance.
