ABSTRACT:
In a guide rail for a linear guide apparatus including a plurality of rolling elements and a slider, the guide rail includes a pair of rolling grooves formed in side surfaces of the guide rail for supporting the slider through the rolling elements, the rolling-element rolling grooves axially extending in parallel with each other, a pair of hardened surface layers formed continuously all over the side surfaces by subjecting the side surfaces to induction hardening, and a hole formed penetratingly in a soft portion existing between the hardened surface layers for fixing the guide rail. The hardened surface layers thus formed are sufficient to receive a shearing force which is applied to the guide rail when the linear guide apparatus is in operation.
