- the guide body 20-5 it is possible to fix the pair of halves 210 only by fitting the holding member 7 into the fixing groove 8. It is possible to reduce the number of assembly man-hours. Moreover, since the guide body to which the present invention is applied is configured by combining the pair of halves, there is a concern that the guide body may be deformed when an unintended external force is applied to the guide body, for example. In particular, when an external force is applied to the guide body from the moving direction, there is a concern that the joint of the pair of halves expands and the ball falls off from the endless circulation path.
- the pair of half members 210 are sandwiched by the pair of holding members 7 at both ends in the moving direction of the guide body 20-5. It is possible to prevent the guide body 20-5 from being deformed when an external force is applied.

- the same components as those in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
- Each half 210 of this embodiment is provided with a locking projection 171 and a locking hole 172.
- the locking projections 171 and the locking holes 172 are formed on the same plane as the surface on which the ball rolling groove 230 is formed.
- a locking claw 173 is formed at the tip of the locking projection 171, while a step 174 is formed inside the locking hole 172 (see FIG. 18).
- the locking projections 171A of the half 210A are inserted into the locking holes 172B of the half 210B, and the engagement of the half 210A.
- the locking projection 171B of the half body 210B is inserted into the stop hole 172A.
- the locking claw 173 of the locking projection 171 is locked to the stepped portion 174 in the locking hole 172, thereby fixing the pair of halves 210.
- the guide body 20-6 of the present embodiment is configured such that the pair of half bodies 210 are fixed to each other by a so-called snap-fit method, like the guide body 20-5.
- this guide body 20-6 since the guide body 20-6 is completed simply by assembling the pair of halves 210, there is no need to perform fastening work of fixing bolts, etc., and man-hours for assembling the guide body are reduced. It becomes possible to reduce. Further, since the fixing mechanism is directly provided on each half body 210, for example, when the pair of half bodies 210 is produced by injection molding of a resin material, the fixing mechanism can be provided together with the molding. Therefore, the production cost of the guide body itself can be reduced compared to the guide body 20-5. Further, since the halves 210 have the same shape, the halves 210 can be molded from the same mold when they are produced by resin injection molding. As a result, the production cost of the half body 210 can be reduced, and the guide body 20-6 itself can be produced at low cost.
