LINEAR MOTION GUIDES USING A FIBROUS MEMBER CAPABLE OF IMPROVING THE STABILITY OF TRANSFERRING A HEAVY LOAD

摘要

PURPOSE: Linear motion guides using a fibrous member are provided to form a rail into a 3D-curved line shape in a height direction or a 2D-curved shape by using bending properties of the fibrous member, thereby forming a transfer passage of various forms.;CONSTITUTION: Linear motion guides (1, 1A) using a fibrous member include a motion block (10) and a rail (20). The motion block includes a body (10a) including a slide surface (11) and an end plate (15) joined to the front and rear surface of the body. The rail includes a frictional surface (21) sliding-rubbing with the slide surface, thereby guiding the movement of the motion block. At least one among the slide surface of the motion block and the frictional surface of the rail is made of the fibrous member including timber.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
