In order to provide a long-life, highly-reliable guide apparatus which
exhibits dustproof performance and prevents intrusion of dust into the
moving block in environments where there are lots of fine dust such as
gypsum and ceramic powder and where no oil contents or oil contents are
not liked, there is provided a guide apparatus having a track rail 11, in
which rolling-element raceway grooves 12-1 to 12-4 are formed along a
longitudinal direction thereof, and a moving block 20 attached to the
track rail by way of a plurality of rolling elements in a
relatively-movable manner, wherein an end-face dustproof brush 25, which
has a brush member 36 whose tip end contacts a surface of the track rail
11 and which eliminates extraneous matters adhering to the surface of the
track rail 11 by means of the brush member 36, is attached to outside of
each of the side covers 22 with respect to the direction of relative
movement.
