In a guide for a transmission chain, a slide rail elongated in the direction of travel of the chain, and having a front surface for sliding engagement with the chain, is supported by a rail support which extends perpendicularly from the back side of the slide rail. The guide is formed by sandwich molding and comprises a glass fiber-reinforced polymer resin forming a core of the rail support, and a wear-resistant polymer resin forming both the slide rail, and a skin layer on the rail support, the skin layer of the rail support being unitary with the slide rail. A plurality of hollow, heat-dissipating, cavities extend inwardly from both sides of the slide rail in directions transverse to the direction of elongation of the slide rail.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic-composition bonded magnet having moldability, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and high strength. A hydraulic-composition bonded magnet according to the present invention is characterized by that a magnetic powder is held in a hydraulic composition produced by cure of a hydraulic powder. Preferably, in the hydraulic-composition bonded magnet, the hydraulic composition is cured together with a non-hydraulic powder. More preferably, a processing modifier is added to the hydraulic-composition bonded magnet.

A guide for as transmission device such as a chain or belt, is injection molded using a sandwich-molding process. The sandwhich-molded guide comprises a slide rail on which a chain or belt slides, and a rail supporting member intergrally provided along with the slide rail. The slide rail is composed of a material the principle component of which is first polymeric material having wear resistance and heat resistance, and the rail supporting member is composed of a material the principle component of which is a second polymeric material having higher strength than the material having the first polymeric material as its principle component. The slide rail and the rail supporting member are intimately joined to each other by injection molding using the sandwhich molding process.
