The top portion of a material for a rail of a linear guide is formed in a convex shape. In this convex shape, portions protruding to the side of a top surface are removed beforehand by rolling raceway grooves in side portions of a member of rectangular section, the top surface of which is flat. A rail made from this material by rolling raceway grooves in side portions have a flat top surface.

Material for rail of linear guide, rail for linear guide, process of manufacturing rail of linear guide, and linear guide

A process of manufacturing a rail of a linear guide is described. The process includes preparing a material for a rail wherein the material has a surface formed in a convex shap and two side surface. The method includes a rolling process of forming raceway grooves in the side surfaces of the material and a process for making a mounting hole after the rolling process in such a manner that the mounting hole opens to at least either surface.
