Title:
LINEAR GUIDE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/202949
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A linear guide wherein: an opening on a side connected to a load rolling path (24), out of two openings in a direction-change path (26), is a rail-side opening (28) and an opening on a side connected to a ball return path (23) is a return path-side opening (29). The linear guide is formed such that: an inner recessed groove (41) that defines an inner circumferential surface of the direction-change path (26) has a cross-sectional shape, in a plane orthogonal to the central axis CL of the direction-change path (26), that is different in the rail-side opening (28) and the return path-side opening (29); and points in the inner recessed groove in both openings are joined in one arc or a plurality of smoothly continuous arcs, in any cross-section parallel to a plane following the central axis of the direction-change path. As a result, stable operating performance can be maintained while maximizing the hole diameter of the ball return path.
