Abstract:
A linear motion guiding device that is unlikely to cause a damage to a tongue unit of an end cap even when the linear motion guiding device is used under high-speed conditions is provided. An end cap ( 22 ) includes, at an end of a side of a raceway of an arc groove ( 222 ) that forms an outer peripheral surface of a direction changing passage ( 42 ), a tongue unit ( 25 ) that scoops up a ball ( 3 ) from a raceway ( 41 ) and guide the ball to a direction changing passage ( 42 ). A distal end surface ( 251 ) of the tongue unit includes a plane ( 251 a ) perpendicular to a direction along the raceway ( 41 ) and a circular-arc surface ( 251 b ) that caves into an arc shape from the plane. A curvature radius of a circular-arc surface is smaller than a radius of the ball. A center of a circle indicating a curvature of a circular-arc surface is present on a line shifted from a groove bottom line of the arc groove by at least an offset amount between a raceway groove ( 12 ) of a side of the guide rail and the raceway groove ( 212 ) of a side of the slider.

Claim (Index 4):
The end cap for the linear motion guiding device according to  claim 3 , wherein the third component is made of a synthetic resin material.
