Patent ID: 8491193

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a guided motion system, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing a substantially axial linear motion guide track; providing a guided motion support base having at least one conduit disposed therein that is defined on an outer surface of the guided motion support base between opposing inside surfaces; providing a substantially axial track assembly, wherein the substantially axial track assembly is comprised of metal, wherein the substantially axial track assembly has a first end that corresponds with a base section, and a second end opposite the first end that corresponds to at least one shoulder section, wherein the at least one shoulder section is at least partially wider than the base section, and wherein the substantially axial track assembly comprises a well defined within the at least one shoulder section, and opposing outer surfaces that extend from the at least one shoulder section to the base section, wherein each of the opposing outer surfaces further comprises a plurality of deformable teeth protrusions located between the at least one shoulder section and the base section, wherein each of the deformable teeth protrusions extend outward from the opposing outer surfaces; coupling the substantially axial linear motion guide track to the well of the substantially axial track assembly to form a coupled track assembly; and press-fitting the coupled track assembly into the at least one conduit of the guided motion support base to form a guided motion system; wherein the plurality of deformable teeth protrusions on each of the opposing outer surfaces deform against the opposing inside surfaces of the at least one conduit to retain the substantially axial track assembly within the at least one conduit when the at least one shoulder section of the substantially axial track assembly contacts the outer surface of the guided motion support base; wherein the plurality of deformable teeth protrusions are configured to effectuate any of galling between the substantially axial track assembly and the opposing inside surfaces of the at least one conduit upon deformation, or cold-pressure solid-state welding between the substantially axial track assembly and the opposing inside surfaces of the at least one conduit upon deformation.
