Abstract
The motion guide device clamper mechanism includes a clamper main body connected to the movable member, an inner face having a tapered shape so that the distance between the facing faces is narrower toward the end of one face of the track member, and one rolling member disposed between the facing faces of the one face of the track member and the inner face. The rolling member receives a pressing force toward a position where the distance between the facing faces of one face of the track member and the inner face of the clamper main body is narrow, so that a frictional force based on the taper shape acts on the rolling member, and the restraint of the clamper main body with respect to the track member is performed. Further, a frictional force based upon the taper shape is released and the non-restraint of the clamper is performed.
