Abstract
In this motion guide device (), a track member () has a recess or protrusion () that is formed in a longitudinal direction, and a moving member () has a holding protrusion or holding recess () that corresponds to the recess or protrusion () formed in the track member (). When force is applied in a direction that would cause relative separation of the moving member () and the track member (), the holding protrusion or holding recess () holds onto the recess or protrusion () such that the moving member () and the track member () are unable to be separated. With this configuration, a motion guide device that is both compact and capable of withstanding a strong external load can be obtained.
