PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a direct acting guide mechanism substantially eliminating the need for exchanging a raceway by minimizing the wear of the raceway. SOLUTION: A ball bearing rolling body comprising an inner ring 14 fitted in the tip of a bolt member 13 and an outer ring 16 rotating around the outside of the outer ring 14 via an rolling element 15 such as a sphere, etc., is used as a rolling body 12. A contact surface in contact with at least the raceway of the outer ring 16 of the rolling body 12 is coated by a coating layer 18 having hardness lower than lower than the hardness of the metallic material forming the raceway 6. The raceway 6 having a high hardness processed in this manner does not substantially wear, but the coating layer 18 of the outer ring 16 of the rolling body 12 wears. The rolling body is easy to be exchanged, and the raceway is not required to exchange. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
