Abstract: A linear-motion device has: a slider provided onto a guide rail relatively movably; and a plurality of rolling elements for causing the slider to move relatively in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail; whereby the slider comprising a slider block having rolling-element rolling grooves that oppose to rolling-element rolling grooves formed on the guide rail, and end caps that close both-end openings of the rolling-element rolling paths formed between the rolling-element rolling grooves on the slider block and the rolling-element rolling grooves on the guide rail, and rolling-element return paths for returning the rolling elements, which have rolled in the rolling-element rolling paths, are formed on the slider block, wherein the rolling-element return paths comprises a groove portion formed on an outer surface of the slider block along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, and a cover member for covering the groove portion.

Abstract: A guide rail (12) of a linear guide unit (10) is provided with at least one running rail (16), which has at least two races (16a) that have different load transmission directions. According to the present invention, the running rail (16) is attached to the guide rail (12) by means of roller insertion; in the surface sections (12a) associated with the races (16a) of the running rail (16), the guide rail (12) is provided with a plurality supporting ribs (12a1); and the supporting ribs (12a1) associated with one and the same race (16a) are aligned essentially parallel to the load transmission direction (B) of this race (16a). In addition or alternatively, in a section (12d) that is not intrinsically deformed by the roller insertion of the at least one running rail (16), the guide rail (12) has at least one additional rolled section. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing guide rails of this kind (12).
