<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rolling element storing belt for a linear guide device capable of alleviating the hooking of the rolling element storing belt on steps even when the steps are in an endless circuit, and to provide the linear guide device. <P>SOLUTION: The rolling element storing belt 50 is formed in an ended shape, and positions of both ends 56 of its connecting arm part 52 are within a range of the thickness of a spacer part 59 positioned at an end in the aligning direction of balls 46. In inner and outer peripheral directions of the endless circuit, out of faces of the connecting arm part 52 connecting spacers 51 other than the spacer 59 positioned at an end, when an outer peripheral side opposing face 52S which is a face opposing a guide groove on the outer peripheral side of the endless circuit is set as a reference, the rolling element storing belt 50 is formed at a position closer to the inner periphery of the endless circuit than the outer peripheral side opposing face 52S and away therefrom by a distance H. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
