20090308192 | Ball screw device having bearing members of different load - A ball screw device includes a screw shaft engaged into a ball nut and each having helical grooves for forming two multiple turn, helical raceways, a group of rollers is received in one of the helical raceways for bearing a greater load in a forward-motion, and a group of ball bearing members is received in another helical raceway for bearing a smaller load in a backward-motion. The helical groove of the screw shaft may include a V-shaped cross section, or a flat surface at one side for engaging with the rollers, and a curved surface at another side for engaging with the ball bearing members. The ball nut may include two nut members secured together. | 12-17-2009 |
20100040314 | Linear Guideway - A linear guideway essentially comprises plural bolt-hole covers, and each of the bolt-hole covers essentially includes a main body and an elastic part. The main boy includes a cover plate and a positioning portion. The periphery of the positioning portion is provided with a guiding portion and a groove, and the positioning portion is provided with plural cutting grooves vertical to the cover plate for offering flexibility to the positioning portion. The elastic part is installed in the groove of the positioning portion. With the elastic functions of the positioning portion and the elastic part, the bolt-hole cover can be fixed in the bolt hole more stably through the interference with the bolt hole. | 02-18-2010 |
20100107794 | Circulating device for motion guide apparatus - A motion guide device includes a ball nut attached onto a shaft and having helical grooves for receiving ball bearing elements, a tubular member is engaged with the ball nut and includes a ball circulating pathway communicative with the helical groove of the ball nut, and includes an intermediate segment, two curved segments, and two end coupling segments each having a ball guiding channel which includes a wider inner section for guiding and circulating the flexible coupling member of a ball coupler to smoothly move through the ball guiding channel of each end coupling segment and for preventing the flexible coupling member from being twisted. The tubular member is preferably formed by two half members. | 05-06-2010 |
20100129012 | Rolling element retainer - A rolling element retainer is provided with two through rolling element retaining spaces. Each of the rolling elements retaining spaces is provided for accommodation of one rolling element. The rolling element retainer is provided with a linking portion at each of two opposite sides thereof. The rolling element retainer is further provided with a rolling element rolling channel in each of two external end surfaces thereof. The angular difference between the respective rolling element rolling channels and the respective linking portions is 0 degree or 90 degrees. By such arrangements, the rolling channels at two ends of the rolling element retainer are provided for contact with the rolling elements therebetween, so as to guide the movement of such rolling elements. | 05-27-2010 |
20100183252 | Component for Linear Guideway and Method for making the same - A component for linear guideway and method for making the same, wherein the component is an end cap or a bolt cover which is made by bulk molding compound which is injected into a mold and formed into the desired shape by thermal setting. The component can be an assembly made up of a plurality of members, namely, an inserting member which is provided for passage of rolling elements can be formed simultaneously when the component is molded by plastic injection molding. The inserting member is formed by: injecting metal powder into a first mold and forming into an inserting member with acceptable rigidity and precision; putting the inserting member into a second mold and bulk molding compound; then the die material is formed into the desired component by thermal setting directly on the inserting member. | 07-22-2010 |
20100294056 | Lubricating device for motion guide apparatus - A motion guide device includes an elongated shaft having a groove formed on an outer peripheral surface, a movable member attached onto the shaft and having a bore for receiving the shaft, a housing attached to the movable member and having a space for receiving a lubricating oil, the housing includes a passage communicative with the bore and the space of the housing for allowing the lubricating oil to flow from the space into the groove of the shaft, and an oil applying member is rotatably engaged in the passage of the housing to carry and to apply or distribute the lubricating oil through the passage of the housing and then into the groove of the elongated shaft. | 11-25-2010 |
20110252908 | RETURN STRUCTURE FOR A BALL SCREW WITH A CHAIN TYPE ROLLING ASSEMBLY - A ball screw comprises a screw, a nut, two return assemblies and a rolling assembly. The two return assemblies are disposed in two ends of the nut, and each of the return assemblies is defined with a return passage provided with two guiding grooves at two sides thereof for guiding the linking portions of the rolling assembly. The guiding grooves twist an angle of about 90 degrees within the return portion of each of the return assemblies to prevent the linking portions from being stretched or extruded improperly to reduce the deformation to the lowest, thus effectively extending the service life of the rolling assembly. | 10-20-2011 |
20110262061 | Motion Transmission Apparatus with a Chain - A motion transmission apparatus with a chain, wherein the chain comprises a plurality of spacers and links for connecting the spacers together, each of the spacers is provided at both sides thereof in an axial direction of an elongated shaft with a plurality of holding protrusions and inclined at an angle from a center of each of the spacers toward a peripheral edge thereof in such a manner that a distance between outer ends of two opposite holding surfaces on two neighboring spacers is smaller than a diameter of the rolling elements, the holding protrusions of the chain are annularly arranged in 120 degree intervals in such a manner that the holding protrusions on the same side of each spacer are alternatively arranged in a direction which is vertical to the links, and two of the holding protrusions are arranged in a line parallel to a direction of the links. | 10-27-2011 |
20130112503 | LUBRICATING DEVICE WITH HEATING FUNCTION - A lubricating device with heating function is provided with a heat conduction member between the lubricating device and the movable member, the heat conduction member absorbs the heat generated by the motion of movable member and transmits the heat to the oil tank, so as to reduce the viscosity of the lubrication stored in the oil tank, and consequently, the heated and reduced-in-viscosity lubrication can easily be absorbed by the oil guiding member by capillary action. When the movable member stops moving, the temperature of the lubrication returns to normal and no capillary action will occur, therefore, the lubricating device is capable of controlling start and stop of the action of lubrication transmission by itself without using any other control device, and thus preventing lubrication leakage. | 05-09-2013 |
