A motion guide device includes: a supporting body; a movable body which is movable along the supporting body; a roller which is configured to be rollable between the supporting body and the movable body; a roller holding member which is provided on the movable body to hold the roller, wherein the roller holding member comprises an upper roller holding member and a lower roller holding member, a protrusion is formed on the lower roller holding member, the protrusion is in a length direction of the movable body and opposite to a foot of the movable body, an opening is formed on the foot, the opening is opened to a side of the supporting body in the length direction to receive the protrusion, a protrusion width of the protrusion is greater than an opening width of the opening.

Motion guide device

Provided is a ball screw capable of reducing unevenness of load distribution of balls and extending a service life of the ball screw. In the ball screw, one end partof a nuton a flange-side is closer to an endof a screw shafton a fixed side than the other end partof the nuton a side opposite the flange-is, two or more circulation pathstoare arranged in an axial direction of the nut, and a diameter of a ballin the circulation pathclosest to the flange-of the nutis smaller than a diameter of a ballin the circulation pathremotest from the flange-of the nut

Ball screw

A disclosed screw device provides an allowance for the accuracy of a recess in an end surface of a nut. A nut has a communicating hole communicating in an axial direction, and is provided at an axial end surface of the nut with a recess communicating with the communicating hole. A circulation member including a turn-around path is placed in the recess. When the circulation member is placed in the recess, the turn-around path of the circulation member is linked to a loaded rolling element rolling groove and the communicating hole of the nut to form a circulation path of a rolling element. A clearance between the circulation member and a wall surface of the recess permits the circulation member to move. The circulation member placed in the recess is not fixed in the recess, and is covered with a lid member to be attached to the nut.

Screw device

A ball screw device includes a ball circulation part having a ball circulation path. The ball circulation part is formed by combining a first split body and a second split body. The first split body has a fixing section fixed to an outer surface of a nut member. The second split body has a pair of leg sections configured to scoop up balls moving along a ball load rolling path and return the balls to the ball load rolling path, a connecting section configured to connect the pair of leg sections and disposed between the first split body and the nut member, and a pair of shoulder sections facing side surfaces of the first split body in two directions so as to sandwich the first split body between the pair of shoulder sections.

Ball screw device

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.

Seal member and linear motion guide device using same

A rolling-element screw device includes: a large number of rolling elements; a screw shaft having an outer periphery on which a rolling groove for the large number of rolling elements is helically formed; a nut member which has a through-hole through which the screw shaft is passed and which is threadedly engaged with the screw shaft through intermediation of the large number of rolling elements; a lubricant supply hole formed through the nut member from an outer peripheral surface of the nut member to an inner peripheral surface of the nut member; a lubricant tank mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the nut member and comprising an accommodating chamber for lubricant; and a lubricant applying body standing from the lubricant tank, and inserted into the lubricant supply hole along with amounting operation of the lubricant tank with respect to the nut member.

Rolling element screw device

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 shafthaving a spiral roller rolling surfaceformed on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a nuthaving a loaded roller rolling surfaceformed in an inner peripheral surface thereof; a circulation memberhaving an unloaded return path connecting one end of the loaded roller rolling surfaceof the nutto an opposite end thereof; and a plurality of rollersarranged in a loaded roller rolling pathand the unloaded return path. In the circulation member, as a scooping portion that juts toward the screw shaftand provided for scooping the rollersmoving in the loaded roller rolling pathup into the unloaded return path, a pair of diagonal corresponding partsis provided which are in contact with diagonal partsof a rectangular side surface of each rollerand 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.

Roller screw

There is provided a new rolling body screw device manufactured with cheap cost without degrading quality in comparison with a conventional device even for a device having any large dimension in an end-cap type rolling body screw device. The rolling body screw device includes the direction changing passageseach including: a scoop-up portionscooping a ball rolling in a loaded rolling body passage as a loaded area of the endless track so as to hand over the balls to the direction changing passageas a non-loaded area of the endless track; and a route pathforming a circulation path of the ball scooped by the scoop-up portion. Each of the return pieces is composed, in combination, of a metal partformed of a metal material including the scoop-up portion, and non-metal partsformed of a non-metal material including the route path

Rolling body screw device

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 where a screw shaft and a nut member are screwed to each other through an intermediation of a large number of balls, a no-load ball path which forms an infinite circulation path for the balls is constituted by a no-load ball groove spirally formed in an inner peripheral surface of a through-hole of the nut member and by a pair of direction change grooves which communicatively couple a load rolling groove and the no-load ball groove to each other so as to complete the infinite circulation path as a closed loop.
