A linear motion guide unit is disclosed in which the lubrication points of
lubricant around a rolling element are made in a turnaround passage to
ensure proper and steady lubrication by the lubrication system simple in
construction, with accompanying sustainable maintenance-free condition
for lubrication. A hole open to the turnaround passage is bored through
an outward end surface of an end cap. A lubricant reservoir of porous
compact product fits into a recess made in the outward end surface of the
end cap. The lubricant reservoir has noses protruding to fit into the
hole in the outward end surface of the end cap to expose itself to the
turnaround passage in such a way forming a part of the curved wall of the
associated turnaround passage. The noses come into rolling-touch with the
rollers as they roll through the turnaround passage, applying the rollers
with lubricant delivered from the noses.
