Abstract
A motion guide apparatus is provided which can make a carriage compact without reducing a rated load and an allowable load. The motion guide apparatus includes: a track member () and a carriage () that moves along the track member (). A circulation path () of the carriage () includes a loaded path (C), a return path (C) parallel to the loaded path (C), and a substantially U-shaped turn path (C) connected to the loaded path (C) and the return path (C). At least a part of the turn path (C) bends in side view in a direction where the loaded path (C) and the return path (C) coincide.
