Abstract:
A linear motion guide unit restrains fluctuations in sliding friction and generation of heat by correcting the postures of rollers having been inclined in a no-load area such that their axes become orthogonal to a guide surface of a carriage to thereby introduce the rollers in proper postures into a load area. A retainer plate of the guide unit has a guide surface for guiding end surfaces of the rollers and has protrusions protruding from the guide surface at its opposite end portions facing crownings of the carriage. The rollers rolling from a turnaround passage to a load-carrying race are pressed by the protrusions toward the guide surface of the carriage so as to be arrayed in such a posture that the axes of the rollers become orthogonal to the guide surface on the inlet side of the crowning of the carriage, whereby the occurrence of roller skew is prevented.

Claim (Index 4):
A linear motion guide unit according to  claim 3 , wherein\n the retainer member has a gable-shaped cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; inclined surfaces of the retainer member serve as the planar second guide surfaces; a top of the retainer member is fitted into the dent-shaped locking groove of the carriage; the fixing member has a plurality of threaded holes formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction; the retainer plate and the carriage have through holes formed at positions corresponding to the threaded holes; and the fastening bolts are inserted through the respective through holes from outside the carriage and are screwed into the respective threaded holes to thereby fix the retainer plate to the carriage.
