A motion guide device includes a plurality of rolling element guide members provided along the entire length of a rolling element rolling surface so as to guide the unloaded side of a plurality of rolling elements that perform a rolling movement under load between the rolling element rolling surface and a loaded rolling element rolling surface. The rolling element guide member includes a beam member an outer member including a rolling element guide surface for guiding the unloaded side of the rolling elements, and the beam member and the outer member are insert-molded. Such a structure provides the motion guide device including the rolling element guide member that enables low cost manufacturing of a complex shape and capability of secure installation and guidance of the rolling elements with no deflection and can be adapted for use in various types by optionally selecting a connecting means.
