Provided is a linear guidance device in which a track groove (30, 70)
serving as an endless circulation path for balls (3) can be formed
through cutting or grinding with high precision and with ease at low
cost. The linear guidance device includes: a raceway rail (1, 5) provided
with a ball rolling groove (10, 50) which is formed on each side surface
thereof; and a movement block (2, 6) formed in a channel configuration in
which a base portion (20, 60) and a pair of flange portions (21, 61) are
provided so that a guide groove (22, 62) is formed, and including the
track groove which are provided with the guide groove faced with the
raceway rail (1, 5), in which the track groove includes: a load
straight-line groove (31, 71) formed in an inner surface of the flange
portions; a non-load straight-line groove (32, 72) formed in a concave
corner portion of the guide groove which is bordered with the flange
portions and the base portion or formed in the base portion so as to be
faced with the raceway rail; a ball deflection groove (33, 73) which
communicatively couples the load straight-line groove and the non-load
straight-line groove to each other so as to allow the balls to move
therebetween.
