摘要:
In a linear motion guide unit in which a rack-and-pinion arrangement is interposed between paired guide rail members(1,2) to keep a cage(3) against falling off from the guide rail members(1,2), the rack(4) is made reduced in size in depth direction to fit well in even a gutter(20) cut small in depth in the guide rail member(1,2). The rack(4) is made up of successive teeth(22) mating with the pinion(5), and side walls(8) to join the teeth(22) together with one another. The side walls(8) of the rack(4) are rendered thickened sidewise with depth while sidewise opposing surfaces defining a gutter(20) cut in the guide rail(1,2) also lean away one another with depth in a way conforming to the side walls(8) of the rack(4), so that the rack(4) can be fastened in the gutter(20) by virtue of face-to-face engagement of the side walls(8) with the associated surfaces(9) in the gutter(20).
摘要:
A relatively movable unit with rolling elements, or balls, adapted for use in a linear motion guide unit or a ball nut screw assembly. The relatively movable unit has lubricating rings(22) disposed between any adjoining balls(7) to thereby lubricate the balls(7). In the linear motion guide unit employing this relatively movable unit, the balls(7) are confined in raceways(26) at the interfaces between a track rail(2) and a slider(1), while the lubricating ring(22) is arranged between the adjoining balls(7). The lubricating ring(22) is provided therein with spherical pockets(10) opened to each other through a window(25) at the center of the ring(22). The lubricating ring(22) may be produced by forming a mixture of lubricant of turbine oil with resinous material of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene powder in a mold under pressure, and heating the molded mixture under pressure.
