Abstract
A linear motion guide unit of the finite type includes a rail, a slider, a plurality of rolling members interposed between the rail and the slider, and a retainer for retaining the rolling members in position. The slider is provided with a slider end plate at each end, which includes a first projection extending substantially across the gap between the rail and the slider. The rail is also provided with a rail end plate at each end, and the rail end plate is also provided with a second projection extending substantially across the rail to slider gap at a location so as not to come into engagement with the first projection. Thus, these first and second projections can serve as effective stopper for the retainer.
