Abstract
According to a linear motion guide unit of this invention, bottom seals may be simply attached to lower surfaces of both of casing and end caps. The bottom seals have core plates that are integrally provided at lengthwise opposing ends thereof with upright plates to be fitted into grooves formed on end surfaces of the end caps. The upright plates has a pair of jaws that extend widthwise the plates in opposite direction to each other so as to be engaged with opposing walls of the grooves on the end caps. The bottom seals are attached to a sliding element in such a manner that the upright plates are fitted into the grooves and the end seals are mounted to the casing through the end caps.
