Abstract
A sliding table assembly includes a sliding seat unit slidably mounted to a base unit. Two auxiliary sliding seats are slidably mounted to the base unit and disposed on two sides of the sliding seat unit. A connection member is connected between the auxiliary sliding seats. Two roller sets are respectively mounted to the auxiliary sliding seats. Each roller set has rollers to roll on the base unit. A driving screw rod is coupled to the sliding seat unit and embraced by the auxiliary seats. When the sliding unit is moved by the driving screw rod, it pushes the auxiliary sliding seats to slide together therewith.

A sliding table assembly, comprising:
- a base unit extending in a lengthwise direction;
- a sliding seat unit slidable in the lengthwise direction and mounted to said base unit;
- an embracing unit, the embracing unit including:
- a pair of individual auxiliary sliding seats each being slidable in the lengthwise direction and mounted to said base unit, said pair of individual auxiliary sliding seats being distinct from and respectively disposed on two sides of said sliding seat unit that are opposite from one another in the lengthwise direction,
- a connection member connected between said pair of auxiliary sliding seats, and
- two roller sets respectively mounted to said pair of auxiliary sliding seats, each of said roller sets having a plurality of rollers to roll on said base unit;
- and
- a driving unit, the driving unit including:
- a power driver mounted to said base unit, and
- a driving screw rod connected to said power driver and threadedly coupled to said sliding seat unit, said driving screw rod being embraced by each of said pair of auxiliary sliding seats to thereby support said driving screw rod against sagging;
- and
- wherein, when said power driver drives said driving screw rod to rotate with respect to said base unit, said siding unit is driven by said driving screw rod to slide in the lengthwise direction and pushes said pair of auxiliary sliding seats to slide together therewith.
