Title:
LINEAR MOTION GUIDE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/133143
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This linear motion guide device has: a guide rail; a slider main body (3) that slidably bridges across the guide rail; rolling bodies that roll between the slider main body (3) and the guide rail; and a return pathway (18a, 18b) that is formed in the slider main body (3) and that recycles the rolling bodies. Lubricant vessels (6a) some or all of which are formed from a transparent material are provided to the lateral surfaces approximately parallel to the longitudinal motion of the sliding main body (3), and a leading member (21a, 21b) is configured in a manner so as to lead lubricant from each of the lubricant vessels (6a) to the return pathway (18a, 18b) by means of the capillary effect. As a result, lubricant management is easy.
