  • Patent number: 11204065
    Abstract: A roller-type linear guide with an oil storage function and an oil storage accessory thereof are disclosed. The roller-type linear guide includes a rail, a slider unit, a plurality of rollers, and an oil storage member. The slider unit is mounted on the rail to form a circulation passage. The rollers are disposed in the circulation passage to drive the slider unit to reciprocate on the rail. The rollers each have a rolling surface. A non-load passage of the circulation passage has two first inner surfaces facing the rolling surface. The oil storage member is disposed in a concave portion of the first inner surfaces, thereby lubricating the rollers running in the non-load passage. The oil storage accessory is disposed in a through hole of the slider rigid body to form the non-load passage.

  • Patent number: 10784760
    Abstract: A core-type linear motor includes: a stator extending in an axial direction, with magnets arranged at intervals in the axial direction, wherein each magnet and its spacing from an adjacent magnet constitute a magnet unit; and a rotor opposite the stator and linearly movable in the axial direction, with coil assemblies arranged side by side in the axial direction. Each coil assembly includes a core with an active portion wound with a coil and a supporting portion. Three coil assemblies have substantially the same length in the axial direction as four magnet units. When the length of each magnet unit is defined as 1, the length of each active portion is 0.3 to 0.5, and the height of each supporting portion, 0.28 to 0.38. These size ratios help increase the motor constant, lower the cogging force, and reduce positive attraction between the rotor and the stator.

  • Patent number: 10359074
    Abstract: A miniature slider structure having foot portions and a linear slide are provided. The linear slide includes a slider and a slide rail. The slider straddles the slide rail so that the slider can be reciprocated on the slide rail. The slide rail extends in a direction. The slider includes a plate and two opposite foot portions extending downward from the plate. The slider straddles the slide rail through the foot portions. The plate has a mounting surface. Through the polishing process on the mounting surface of the plate, the roughness Ra of the mounting surface is controlled to be in the range of 0.01 microns to 0.1 microns so as to reduce the deformation of the foot portions when the working platform is installed.

  • Patent number: 9148047
    Abstract: A coil unit and coil assembly for iron-less liar motor and the coil unit includes two vertical function sides and two axial non-function sides. The multiple units are alternatively connected to each other by inserting the vertical function side of one coil unit into the hollow portion of the adjacent coil unit so as to form a coil assembly. The width of the vertical function side is D1 and the distance between two respective insides of the two vertical function sides is D2. D2=m×D1+?L, wherein m representing the number of the vertical function sides of other coil units received in the vertical direction of the hollow portion. The ?L is the width of the gap which receives a separation plate between the two adjacent vertical function sides to increase the efficiency of dissipating heat or insulation when current passes through the coil assembly.

  • Patent number: 8967862
    Abstract: A slider assembly configured to move on a slide rail along an axial direction without limitation in distance is provided to solve the problems of the middle retaining members of a conventional circulation maintaining device, e.g., insufficient connection rigidity and inconvenience in manufacture and assembly. The positioning portion of a middle retaining member and the positioning portion of the protrusion of a slider are connected in a direction perpendicular to both the axial direction and a transverse direction in which the protrusion projects, thereby connecting the middle retaining member and the protrusion securely and evenly along their entire lengths. The middle retaining member and the protrusion also feature ease of manufacture and assembly.

  • Patent number: 8926181
    Abstract: An endless circulation path for a linear rail includes a loaded path, an unloaded path and two direction change paths which are connected between the loaded path and the unloaded path. Each of the unloaded path, the direction change paths and the loaded path has top and bottom grooves. A first line is connected between top and bottom grooves of the unloaded path.

  • Patent number: 8870508
    Abstract: A bolt-hole cap for sealing the bolt hole of a rail includes a top face and a bottom face from which multiple protrusions extend. Each protrusion extends radially from inner portion toward outer portion of the bolt-hole cap. Each protrusion has two side faces and an end face connected between the two side faces. The end face has a first width. When the bolt-hole cap is inserted into a bolt hole and the top face of the bolt-hole cap is in flush with the top face of the rail, the end face of each of the protrusions contacts the bolt in the bolt hole. The protrusions are plastically deformed toward the side faces and the end face has a second width which is wider than the first width, so that the bolt-hole cap has sufficient strength to keep the top thereof flushing the top of the rail.

  • Patent number: 8154156
    Abstract: A coil assembly for a linear motor includes a coil unit which has multiple adjacently arranged coils, a base, and a resin encapsulated layer. The coils have two corresponding vertical action sides, a first non-action side, and a second non-action side. The coils further form multiple interlaced first bending sections on the first non-action side. Plural conducting wires disposed on the second non-action side could connect to an external cable on an end section of the coil unit. The base has a receiving slot thereon. The cross-section of the receiving slot corresponds in shape to that of the first bending sections for insertion of the coils. The resin encapsulated layer covering the coils and sealing the receiving slot of the base increases the contacting area between the coils and the inner wall of the receiving slot of the base to enhance the heat dissipation rate.
