Since the covering member 44 that covers the magnetic scale 7 and the covering member 44 that covers the through-hole 18 of the track rail 41 are used together, foreign matters such as iron powder adhering to the surface of the covering member 44 are end sealed, laminated contact scraper, metal Can be scraped off with a scraper. Since the end seal, the laminated contact scraper, and the metal scraper do not directly contact the magnetic scale 7, it is possible to prevent the magnetic scale 7 from being adversely affected such as wear and deformation.
- the lid body 45 has a width wider than the width of the scale fitting groove 42a of the main body portion 42 and is placed on the surface of the main body portion 42, so that coolant is applied to the contact surface between the magnetic scale 7 and the scale fitting groove 42a. It can be prevented from flowing. Since the double-sided tape 48 can be used as a method for attaching the magnetic scale 7 to the main body 42, the magnetic scale 7 can be easily attached.
- the upper surface of the track rail in this embodiment means a surface located on the opposite side of the mounting surface of the track rail with respect to the base of the track rail, and it is necessary to always face upward when using the motion guide device. There is no. It is only necessary that the moving block is movable relative to the track rail, and the track rail may move during use.
- the track rail may be curved in an arc shape.
- the magnetic scale and the groove into which the magnetic scale is fitted may be curved in an arc shape in accordance with the track rail.
- the magnetic scale may be an incremental type or an absolute type.
- An origin return magnet may be provided in addition to the magnetic scale, and the origin may be detected by detecting the magnetic flux density of the origin return magnet with a magnetic sensor.
- the magnetic scale is bonded to the track rail using a double-sided tape, but it can be bonded to the track rail using an adhesive, or can be fixed to the track rail using a screw.
- the magnetic scale is bonded to the groove of the track rail, but the magnetic scale can also be bonded to the plate cover.
- the shape of the track rail and the moving block is an example, and various shapes can be selected according to the use of the motion guide device.
- the number of rolling elements rolling portions of the track rail can be two, or the rolling element rolling portions can be arranged on the upper surface of the track rail.
