Abstract

The present invention relates to a new guide actuator with high radial direction load capability, which has the purpose of providing a directional force bearing way to common loading method to make the actuator can bear load and transmit with higher accuracy. On design, the present invention has grooves bearing load at the center of the bottom of the U-shape guide structure, and a table is set between two inner side walls of the U-shape guide structure, grooves corresponding to the grooves of the U-shape guide structure being set at the bottom of the table, rollers being set between grooves and grooves to make the table and the U-shape guide structure slide respect to each other with very low friction due to rolling motion of the rollers with high radial load capability.

Dependent claims

A guide actuator with high radial direction load capability at least comprising a guide structure, a table, and a actuating structure, wherein:

said guide structure is bar-like in appearance and U-shape in cross section, a first grooves respectively being set at a bottom inside of U-shape, a second grooves being set at an inner wall of each side of U-shape;
said actuator structure provides said table with power for moving;
said table is set between said inner wall of each side of said U-shape guide structure and length of said table is shorter than that of said U-shape guide structure, two grooves being set corresponding to said first grooves at said bottom and said second grooves at said inner walls respectively, a plurality of rollers being set between said first, second grooves of said guide structure and said corresponding two grooves of said table, a mechanism for circulation of rolling motion of said rollers being set at a front end and an rear end of said table to make said table enable to slide along said first and second grooves of said guide structure.
