  • Patent number: 12331812
    Abstract: An actuator device includes a base body that defines a receiving space. A first end subunit has a ventilation hole, a first oil injection hole, and a first oil injection nozzle extending from the first oil injection hole into the receiving space. A second end subunit is connected to the base body. A sliding unit is slidable relative to the base body, and has a slide table, a nut seat connected to the slide table, and a connection hole connected to the slide table and the base body. A pressure relief unit is mounted in the ventilation hole for allowing air to be discharged from the receiving space to an external environment. A driving unit is operable for driving movement of the sliding unit.

  • Patent number: 12209643
    Abstract: An actuator device includes a base unit, a sliding unit, and a scraping unit. The base unit includes a base seat defining a receiving space, two magnets mounted to the base seat, and a steel belt that covers the receiving space and that is attracted to the magnets. The sliding unit is disposed on the base unit, and includes a sliding table that has a pass channel through which the steel belt extends. A nut seat is connected to the sliding table. The scraping unit is mounted to the sliding unit, and includes a scraping member that abuts against the steel belt. A threaded shaft is connected to a nut seat, such that a driving member is operable to drive rotation of the threaded shaft to thereby move the sliding unit along the threaded shaft relative to the base unit.

  • Patent number: 11946529
    Abstract: A sliding table assembly includes a sliding seat unit slidably mounted to a base unit. Two auxiliary sliding seats are slidably mounted to the base unit and disposed on two sides of the sliding seat unit. A connection member is connected between the auxiliary sliding seats. Two roller sets are respectively mounted to the auxiliary sliding seats. Each roller set has rollers to roll on the base unit. A driving screw rod is coupled to the sliding seat unit and embraced by the auxiliary seats. When the sliding unit is moved by the driving screw rod, it pushes the auxiliary sliding seats to slide together therewith.

  • Patent number: 11771217
    Abstract: A sliding table includes a sliding seat having a seat body made from a first material and disposed between two main rigid rails parallel with each other. The seat body has two opposite rail recesses opening toward the main rigid rails, and two inner cyclic track holes disposed between the rail recesses. Two seat body rigid rails made from a second material harder than the first material are fixed in the rail recesses to confront the main rigid rails. Two roller belt modules are arranged in two cyclic track members overmolded to the seat body. When the seat body moves along the main rigid rails, each roller belt module circulates along one of the cyclic track members.

  • Patent number: 11067126
    Abstract: A circulator structure includes a main body, a Y-like groove and two return channels. The main body has a first side surface, a second side surface and a through hole. The Y-like groove includes a first oil-guiding groove, a second oil-guiding groove and an oil distribution groove. The first oil-guiding groove and the second oil-guiding groove are located at two opposite sides of the through hole, and the oil distribution groove is located below the through hole. A lower guiding end of the first oil-guiding groove and a lower guiding end of the second oil-guiding groove are respectively connected to the oil distribution groove. The oil distribution groove has an upper end distribution opening connected to the through hole and a lower end distribution opening. The return channels are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first side surface and are connected to the lower end distribution opening.
