Abstract: A traction drive power transmission device, where a lubrication oil can be stably and continuously applied for a long period to portions at which rollers and a shaft are in contact with each other, shortage of the lubrication oil does not occur at the contact portions, the lubrication oil is not wasted, and which does not impair work environment by contaminating floor surface etc. A traction drive power transmission device has at least one drive roller (12a), a follower roller (12b), and a circular cylinder-like shaft (11). The shaft (11) is held between the drive roller (12a) and the follower roller (12b). When the drive roller (12a) is rotated, rotational force by the rotation is transmitted to the shaft (11) to drive it in its axial direction. The device has a lubrication oil-delivering portion (20) with application bodies (22-1, 22-2) for applying a lubrication oil only to portions where the shaft (11) is in contact with the drive roller (12a) and the follower roller (12b).

Abstract: A guide apparatus including a track rail and a moving block is free from the possibility of foreign matter entering the moving block through the gaps between the side surfaces of the track rail and the inner side surfaces of the moving block even in an environment where many fine dust particles are flying. A guide apparatus has a track rail and a moving block 20 relatively movably attached to the track rail with rolling elements interposed therebetween. The rolling elements recirculate through rolling element recirculation passages. Foreign matter entry preventing plates 34 are provided so that their respective distal ends longitudinally contact the opposite side surfaces of the track rail to close the gaps between the side surfaces of the track rail and at least the inner side surfaces of skirt portions on both sides of a moving block body 21 and the inner side surfaces of end plates of the moving block 20.

Abstract: A seal for a ball screw is provided with a foreign material removing member having a hole of a shape corresponding to a sectional shape of a ball screw shaft taken perpendicularly to an axis thereof to prevent a foreign material from invading from an outside of a ball screw nut and a seal member having a hole of a shape corresponding to a sectional shape of the ball screw shaft to retain a lubricant existing inside the ball screw nut. The foreign material removing member and the seal member are mounted to the ball screw shaft, at each of both the axial ends of the nut, while being overlapped to each other in a state that inner peripheral portions of the foreign material removing member and the seal member contact an outer peripheral surface of the ball screw shaft and the ball rolling groove thereof. The foreign material removing member is disposed outside the seal member in the axial direction of the ball screw nut.

Abstract: A lubricant supplying device for a guiding apparatus which can control as accurately as possible the amount per unit time of a lubricant to be supplied even when the amount per unit time of the lubricant to be supplied from lubricant accommodating chambers to lubricant coaters is very small, and stably can apply a predetermined amount of the lubricant to the rolling faces of a track shaft and/or a slide member from the lubricant coaters stably for a long period of time even when the feeder is made small in size. The lubricant stored in the lubricant accommodating chambers is lubricating grease which contains 0.05 to 4 wt % of a thickener in lubricating base oil.
