A porous compact impregnated with lubricant fits into an end cap in a fashion exposed in part to a turnaround passage to apply the lubricant around balls while the balls roll through the turnaround passage. The porous compact is placed in a concavity in an end cap major part and a slot rounded at opposite ends thereof is formed in an outside curved portion of the turnaround passage to communicate the concavity with the turnaround passage. An applicator nose of the porous compact is exposed to the turnaround passage through the slot. The balls while being guided along edges of the slot come into rolling-contact with the exposed surface of the porous compact to be coated with the lubricant. |
