Abstract
A slider for a linear motion rolling guide unit can ensure a smooth rolling movement and a reliable lubricating capability and eliminate the need for accurate dimension control to reduce the manufacturing costs. A turning cornerin an end capis made up of a pair of arced pathsconnecting with a rolling path in the casing, and a straight pathproviding a connection between the arced pathsand extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to the rolling path. The lubricating member A mounted in the end caphas a lubricating faceexposed to the linear path, and maintains a relation of the lubricating faceintersecting the outer peripheral faces of the arced paths. A recessed areais formed between the outer peripheral face of each arced path and the lubricating facein a surplus length region extending outward from the intersection between the lubricating faceand the outer peripheral face of the arced path
