Abstract
A linear motion guide unit includes a track rail having a first rail raceway surface and a second rail raceway surface each extending in a longitudinal direction, a first slider relatively movably attached to the track rail and having a first slider raceway surface facing the first rail raceway surface and a planar first mounting surface, and a second slider relatively movably attached to the track rail and having a second slider raceway surface facing the second rail raceway surface and a planar second mounting surface. The first slider is provided spaced apart from the second slider as viewed in the longitudinal direction. The second mounting surface is inclined with respect to the first mounting surface as viewed in the longitudinal direction.

A linear motion guide unit comprising:
- a track rail having a first rail raceway surface and a second rail raceway surface each extending in a longitudinal direction;
- a first slider relatively movably attached to the track rail, the first slider having a first slider raceway surface facing the first rail raceway surface and a planar first mounting surface provided with a first mounting hole for another member to be mounted;
- a second slider relatively movably attached to the track rail, the second slider having a second slider raceway surface facing the second rail raceway surface and a planar second mounting surface provided with a second mounting hole for another member to be mounted;
- a plurality of first rolling elements rolling on a first load-carrying race composed of the first rail raceway surface and the first slider raceway surface;
- and
- a plurality of second rolling elements rolling on a second load-carrying race composed of the second rail raceway surface and the second slider raceway surface;
- the first slider being provided spaced apart from the second slider as viewed in the longitudinal direction,
- the second mounting surface being inclined with respect to the first mounting surface as viewed in the longitudinal direction.
