Abstract:
A motion guide device has a moving block mounting surface 501 of an end plate 5 formed in a planar shape and a thinned-down portion 52 formed in an opposing moving block mounting surface 502. Moreover, in this motion guide device, a lubrication path 30 includes: a first lubrication path 30a formed extending in a horizontal direction from a surface of side surfaces parallel to a longer direction of a track rail 1 in the end plate 5 to a central portion of the end plate 5; a second lubrication path 30b formed in the central portion of the end plate 5; and a third lubrication path 30c connected to the second lubrication path and formed in a groove shape in the moving block mounting surface 501 of the end plate 5, and, moreover, the first lubrication path 30a is formed in a hollow shape continuous to inside a built-up portion 52a appended to the thinned-down portion 52 of the end plate 5. Having such a configuration enables this motion guide device to achieve an average dispersal of lubricant to each of rolling element circulation paths regardless of mounting position of a greasing nipple with respect to the end plate, type of lubricant, and so on.
