The present invention provides a track rail mounting structure of a rectilinear guide apparatus comprising a track rail having a rotating/running surface where a plenty of rotating/running bodies rotate and run; an endless circulation route for guiding the plenty of rotating/running bodies; and a slider movably arranged with respect to the track rail via the rotating/running bodies; wherein a base where the track rail is mounted has a groove for inserting a bottom portion of the track rail, so that the bottom portion of the track rail is inserted into the groove, and a pressure member is provided for pressing at least one side surface of the track rail toward an inner side surface of the groove. As has been described above, since the pressure member is provided to press the side surface of the track rail toward the inner side surface of the groove, the side surface of the track rail is pressed by the pressure member so as to press the opposite side of the track rail to the inner side surface of the groove or both side surfaces of the track rail are pressed by the pressure member so as to be fixed to the track rail. Accordingly, even when a thermal expansion difference is caused between the track rail and the base by a temperature change, a contact portion of the pressure member slides along the side surface of the track rail so as to absorb the thermal expansion difference and accordingly, no distortion is caused in the track rail.

A ball screw comprising a threaded rod and a ball nut making a rectilinear motion around the rod as the rod is rotated. A first load ball groove and a second load groove which have an offset relation to each other are formed in the inner surface of the ball nut. A pre-load is imparted to ball bearings rolling in these two load grooves. The ball nut has a resilient portion between the first and second load ball grooves. The resilient portion can be displaced axially. Any excessive pre-load created by the error introduced either in the lead of the ball-rolling groove or in the lead of the first or second load ball groove is absorbed by the resilient portion. Consequently, the novel ball screw is superior in accuracy to the prior art ball screw, and is easier to fabricate.
