A seal member for a linear guide including a guide rail and slider movably set on the guide rail through rolling elements, the seal member, attached to the slider, configured to seal an opening of a gap between the guide rail and slider, the seal member includes: fibers having been impregnated with rubber or resin, wherein a sliding contact part of said seal member, which is in sliding contact with the guide rail, is made of the fibers.

Seals for linear guides

A slider slidably straddling over a guide rail, an attachment plate having a square U-shape attached to an end surface of the slider and including opposite vertical frames and a horizontal frame connecting the vertical frames, and a sliding scraper fitted in a square U-shape groove of the attachment plate and including opposite vertical portions and a horizontal portion connecting the opposite vertical portions, and a groove portion that is in sliding contact with the guide rail are provided, and protrusion portions at which the vertical frames and the vertical portions are in abutment with each other are provided an open end portion of an inner side surface of each of the opposite vertical frames of the attachment plate or an end portion of an outer side surface of each of the opposite vertical portions of the sliding scraper, the end portion facing the relevant open end portion.

Attachment structure for sliding scraper, and linear guide device

A shaft structure installed in a shaft capable of making a power-transmission, the shaft structure including: a male component having a plurality of male splines formed on an outer peripheral part thereof; and a female component having a plurality of female splines formed on an inner peripheral part thereof, the inner peripheral part configured to allow the outer peripheral part of the male component to be engaged therein so that the male component and the female component can be slidably fitted with respect to each other in an axial direction thereby making up said shaft structure, wherein the outer peripheral part of the male component and the inner peripheral part of the female component have a fabric impregnated with rubber or resin interposed therebetween.

Structural body for shaft, male member, and female member

A ball screw including: a male component having male grooves on an outer periphery for a ball to roll; a female component fitted together with the male component in an axial direction having female grooves facing the male grooves on an inner periphery for the ball to roll and a circulation path for the ball to circulate; and a seal member at one end, at the other end, or at each of one and the other ends of the female component in the axial direction and including a hole capable of communicating with the inner periphery, a fiber layer having a fitting surface having a convex part capable of being fitted in the male grooves when the male component is inserted into the hole and a surface made of fibers impregnated with rubber or resin, and a rubber or resin layer laminated on a surface opposite to the fitting surface.

Ball screw, seal material, and seal structure

A shaft structure including: a male component having male spline parts and male spline bottom parts on an outer peripheral part; a female component having female spline parts and female spline bottom parts on an inner peripheral part configured to allow the male component to be slidably inserted in an axial direction; and an elastic member arranged on the male component covering a surface of the outer peripheral part of the male component, wherein, in an initial state where the male component is inserted into the female component, the female and male components have first gaps between: sides of the female spline parts; and sides-facing portions of the elastic member, and when the male component is rotated, a time from the initial state to a state where the sides of the female spline parts abut on the portions of the elastic member, has predetermined time differences along the axial direction.
