ABSTRACT:
A linear motion rolling-contact bearing assembly includes a trough-shaped rail extending straight over a length and provided with outer guide grooves, a slider member provided with inner guide grooves each opposite to the corresponding one of the outer guide grooves and including an endless circulating path comprised of a load path section and non-load path section, a plurality of balls arranged in the endless circulating path which are brought into rolling contact with the corresponding pair of the inner and outer guide grooves at the load path section, and a retainer plate for retaining the balls in the endless circulating path while rolling along its load section. In accordance with the present invention, the slider member, received in the rail, includes a saddle-shaped table and a pair of upper and lower wall sections, which define therein at least the non-load path section of the endless circulating path and which are fixedly attached to the table by a fixing means, such as rivets.
