There is provided an air-cylinder apparatus for use in a prosthetic limb capable of effectively adjusting the pressure characteristics over a wide range of walking speed. A second chamber 82 defined by a piston 113 is increased in pressure by air confined therein in accordance with the bending motion of the knee. Air is restricted from flowing out of the second chamber 82 by a constant throttle valve 140. In addition, the second chamber 82 is divided into plural chambers 821, 822 in accordance with increase in bending angle of the knee and air is restricted from flowing out of the newly divided chambers 821, 822 by throttle valves corresponding thereto. The division of the second chamber 82 is achieved by mutual engagement between a projection 1140b on the piston side and a recess 1127 on the bottom part of a cylinder body.

A slider unit having built in a moving-coil linear motor ensuring high propulsion, is kept slim in overall height. A moving-coil assembly is made slim, with high stiffness, and is composed of an iron core of platy-configuration, and at least one set of three-phase armature coils wound around the iron core in the form of flat rectangular configuration in a plane intersecting the sliding direction. Comparatively more coil sides of the armature coils contribute to high propulsion. Like poles on either field magnet are placed in opposition to each other across the air gap, whereby the magnetic attraction is cancelled to reduce the load on the linear motion guide unit.

Provided is a ball screw device having a novel ball circulation structure suitable for a screw shaft with a large lead, optimum for downsizing and weight saving of a nut member, capable of being manufactured at low cost, and capable of exhibiting high reliability even under severe use conditions. In a ball screw device (1) where a screw shaft (2) and a nut member (3) are screwed to each other through an intermediation of a large number of balls (4), a no-load ball path (50) which forms an infinite circulation path for the balls (4) is constituted by a no-load ball groove (33a) spirally formed in an inner peripheral surface of a through-hole (30) of the nut member (3) and by a pair of direction change grooves (34) which communicatively couple a load rolling groove (20a) and the no-load ball groove (33a) to each other so as to complete the infinite circulation path as a closed loop.

Provided is a rolling-element screw device in which a recess can be easily formed in an outer diameter portion of a nut main body for receiving a circulation member. At both ends of a straight passage 5 of the nut main body 2, a pair of circulation members 8 is provided respectively, in each of which a direction change passage 6 is formed for connecting the straight passage 5 to a loaded rolling-element rolling passage 3. The circulation members 8 in a pair are fit in a pair of recesses 15, respectively, formed in the outer diameter portion of the nut main body 2. The direction change passage 6 of each circulation member 8 has a curve passage 22 which is connected to the loaded rolling-element rolling passage 3. The curve passage 22 is formed in such a way that, when seen in the axial direction of the nut main body 2, the track of the center of each rolling element 7 moving in the curve passage takes the shape of an arc.

A linear motion rolling bearing which, together with enabling lubricant to be supplied inexpensively and reliably, allows maintenance relating to the occurrence of lubricant clogging and so forth to be performed easily, while also enabling the supply of lubricant to be performed extremely simply even in the case of small products. Lubricant insertion holes are formed in end seals provided on the ends of an outer cylinder, and a lubricant such as grease is injected through the lubricant injection holes using an injector.

A ball screw device or linear motion guide device has a seal member preventing dust and dirt from entering into a movable member of a linear motion guide device and seals out fine dust, dirt or like by surely contacting a seal to a shaft member without providing a large margin to the seal. The seal member includes a body portion mounted to the movable member and a lip portion contacting an outer portion of the shaft member, the lip portion has an oblique surface having an axial section inclining with respect to its axial direction, the body portion has an urging member urging the lip portion in a diameter direction of the shaft member and a reinforcing portion reinforcing the body portion. The urging member is located on the reinforcing portion side than the tip end of the lip portion in the axial sectional shape of the lip portion.

Provided is a roller screw capable of preventing rollers moving from an unloaded return path to a loaded roller rolling path from coming into collision with a scooping portion. The roller screw has: a screw shaft 1 having a spiral roller rolling surface 1a formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nut 2 having a loaded roller rolling surface 2a formed in an inner peripheral surface thereof; a circulation member 3 having an unloaded return path connecting one end of the loaded roller rolling surface 2a of the nut 2 to an opposite end thereof; and a plurality of rollers 4 arranged in a loaded roller rolling path 6 and the unloaded return path. In the circulation member 3, as a scooping portion that juts toward the screw shaft 1 and provided for scooping the rollers 4 moving in the loaded roller rolling path 6 up into the unloaded return path, a pair of diagonal corresponding parts 14 is provided which are in contact with diagonal parts 4e of a rectangular side surface of each roller 4 and a width between which is gradually narrower as they are deeper in the unloaded return path in such a manner that a cross section of the unloaded return path is closer to a rectangle.

Provided is a rolling-element screw device which does not sacrifice a stroke distance of a nut member (2) although carrying a sufficient amount of lubricant, or hinder heat radiation of the nut member (2), and contributes to facilitation of a replacement operation of a lubricant tank (4). The rolling-element screw device includes: a large number of rolling elements (5); a screw shaft (1) having an outer periphery on which a rolling groove (10) for the large number of rolling elements (5) is helically formed; a nut member (2) which has a through-hole (20) through which the screw shaft (1) is passed and which is threadedly engaged with the screw shaft (1) through intermediation of the large number of rolling elements (5); a lubricant supply hole (29) formed through the nut member (2) from an outer peripheral surface of the nut member (2) to an inner peripheral surface of the nut member (2); a lubricant tank (4) mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the nut member (2) and comprising an accommodating chamber for lubricant; and a lubricant applying body (43) standing from the lubricant tank (4), and inserted into the lubricant supply hole (29) along with a mounting operation of the lubricant tank (4) with respect to the nut member (2), the lubricant applying body (43) having a leading end portion coming into contact with the rolling groove (10) of the screw shaft (1) so as to apply the lubricant.
