A linear motion guide unit is described in which a cage plate in itself and of itself can retain rollers in place so as to facilitate and simplify handling of the rollers and other parts on manufacture and assembly phases. In addition, the linear motion guide unit has the constructional feature in that the smaller pitch between the center-lines of adjacent rollers installed in a cage results in the greater number of the rollers lying in a preselected length of the cage to get heavier load-carrying capacity. The cage plate has openings to retain the rollers therein which are arranged in the lengthwise direction of the cage plate. Each of the openings has a contour whose major axis lies in a widthwise direction of the cage plate. The openings have therein bearing lips to retain axially opposite end surfaces of the rollers, the bearing lips extending inside from an edge around the opening at locations corresponding with diametrically opposite ends of the major axis. The bearing lips end into wedged bearing edges deformable elastically. The bearing edges have bearing slants adapted to conform to the end surfaces of the roller to bear the roller thereon. The bearing slants are in diametrically symmetric relation to each other.
