Abstract
A braking device of a linear guide comprises a braking slide seat which is mounted on the guide. The braking slide seat is provided with a braking rod which is provided in the mid-segment with an insertion slot having a tapered bevel and in the rear end with a disk spring for pushing the front end of the braking rod to make a frictional contact with the guide. An urging rod is powered by a hydraulic or a pneumatic source to enter the insertion slot to cause the braking rod to move away from the guide. In the event of a power outage, the urging rod is retreated from the insertion slot, the braking rod is urged by the spring to make a frictional contact with the guide, thereby exerting a braking force on the guide to bring the slide seat to an abrupt halt.
