- the spacer 6 does not approach the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 of the ball guide member 7 any more.
- the inner circumferential guide curved surface 71b is formed in a circular arc-shaped curved surface having the same circle center as the outer circumferential curved surface of the switching portion 44a related to the direction changing path 44 and a single curvature.
- the inner peripheral guide curved surfaces 71a and 71c are formed with a curvature following the displacement of the spacer 6.
- the curvature radii of the inner circumferential guide curved surfaces 71a and 71c in the entry area A and the guidance area C are set larger than the curvature radii of the inner circumferential guide curved surfaces 71b in the guide area B.
- the ball 5 in the direction change path 44 is drawn with a one-dot chain line in order to facilitate understanding of the path of the spacer 6 in the direction change path 44.
- the guide area C of the direction changing path 44 is continuous with the ball return path 32 having an inner diameter slightly larger than the ball diameter, while the entry area A is connected to the load ball path 31 having the same inner diameter as the ball diameter. It is continuous. That is, since the inner diameter of the direction change path 44 in the approach area A is slightly smaller than that of the guide area C, the radius of curvature of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71a in the approach area A is the inner radius in the guide area C. It is preferable that the radius is set to be smaller than the curvature radius of the side guide curved surface 71c.
- the spacer 6 reaches the start points S and S ′ of the change portion 44 a related to the direction change 44 before the ball guide member 7.
- the inner circumferential guide curved surface 71 is gradually approached.
- the start points P and Q of the inner peripheral guide curved surfaces 71a and 71c in the approach area A and the guide area C of the direction change path 44 are the start points S and S ′ of the change part 44a.
- the outer peripheral curved surface of the changing portion 44a related to the direction change 44 is formed as an arc-shaped curved surface having a single curvature, in FIG. 6, the starting point S on the load ball passage 31 side is the ball return passage 32 side. Is drawn at a position facing the viewpoint S ′ and the moving direction of the moving block 2.
- the direction change path 44 formed in each lid body 4 has the change preparation part 44b that connects the ball return path 32 and the change part 44a.
- the outer side surface of the change preparation part 44b is continuous with the outer side guide surface 41 and is formed in a straight line, while the inner side surface thereof, that is, the inner side in the guiding region C of the direction changing path 44.
- the guide curved surface 71c is formed in a curved surface shape.
- the ball 5 rolling in the load ball passage 31 or the ball return passage 32 passes through the starting points S and S ′ of the turning portion 44a that changes the rolling direction of the ball 5, the ball 5 5 passes through the start point P of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71a and the start point Q of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71c in the guide region C.
- the ball 5 rolling on the load ball path 31 or the ball return path 32 passes through the starting points S and S ′ of the conversion part 44a, and the track rail 1 is moved along the outer peripheral curved surface of the conversion part 44a.
- the spacer 6 gradually approaches the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 side of the direction changing path 44 at the same time as rolling in the direction away from or approaching the ball rolling surface 11, Since the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71a in the approach area A of the direction change path 44 or the inner peripheral guide curved face 71c in the guide area C is formed with a curvature following the displacement of the spacer 6 in the direction change path 44, Interference between the circumferential guide curved surfaces 71a and 71c and the spacer 6 can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to smoothly circulate the rolling elements in the infinite circulation path formed in the moving block.
- the dividing surface of the block main body 3 and the cover body 4 is made into the starting points S and S 'of the change part 44a of the said direction change path 44, the starting point P of the said inner side guide curved surface 71a, and the start point Q of the inner side guide curved surface 71c. If designed according to the above, the configuration of the end surfaces of the block body 3 and the lid 4 is complicated. However, according to the motion guide device of the present embodiment, the dividing surface M between the block body 3 and the lid body 4 has the starting point P of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71a and the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71c as shown in FIG. Is coincident with the plane including the starting point Q.
- the ball guide member 7 constituting the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 of the direction changing path 44 is provided separately from the lid body 4 and the block body 3. Thereby, since all the curved surface portions of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 are included in the lid body 4, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the end surfaces of the block body 3 and the lid body 4.
- FIG. 7 is an enlarged view showing a second embodiment of the ball guide member 7. If it is possible to prevent interference between the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 formed on the ball guide member 7 and the spacer 6, the shape of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 is changed to the above-mentioned three kinds of arcs 71a, 71b, 71c. It can be replaced with an ellipse that approximates a compound curved surface. According to such a configuration, it is possible to simplify the molding of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71, and thus it is possible to simplify the manufacture of the motion guide device.
- the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 is formed as a compound curved surface composed of three kinds of arcs 71a, 71b, 71c.
- the shape of the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 is not limited to this. If the interference between the inner peripheral guide curved surface 71 and the spacer 6 can be prevented, for example, a composite curved surface composed of four or more arcs or a compound curved surface derived from a specific formula such as a clothoid curve is formed. It can be done.
- the rolling element is not limited to a ball, and a roller may be used.
