Abstract
A linear motion guide unit is disclosed wherein lubricant-containing members of sintered resinous components are fixed to core metals with either of mechanical means and adhesives whereby the lubricant-containing members may be kept in an accurate sliding contact with the raceway grooves on the track rail. Lubricating plate assemblies attached on end caps by bolts are each composed of the lubricant-containing member of sintered resinous component, core metal and dustproof cover. The lubricant-containing members are each fixed on the associated core metal with adhesives or with mechanical means such as claws, grasping fingers or the like, which are formed on the core metals. The core metals have rigidity sufficient to protect the lubricant-containing members from deformation, resulting in keeping the highly accurate sliding contact relation of the lubricant-containing members with the raceway grooves on the track rail.
