Zusammenfassung: | A linear motion guiding device that is unlikely to cause a damage to a tongue unit of an end cap even when the linear motion guiding device is used under high-speed conditions is provided. An end cap (22) includes, at an end of a side of a raceway of an arc groove (222) that forms an outer peripheral surface of a direction changing passage (42), a tongue unit (25) that scoops up a ball (3) from a raceway (41) and guide the ball to a direction changing passage (42) . A distal end surface (251) of the tongue unit includes a plane (251a) perpendicular to a direction along the raceway (41) and a circular-arc surface (251b) that caves into an arc shape from the plane. A curvature radius of a circular-arc surface is smaller than a radius of the ball. A center of a circle indicating a curvature of a circular-arc surface is present on a line shifted from a groove bottom line of the arc groove by at least an offset amount between a raceway groove (12) of a side of the guide rail and the raceway groove (212) of a side of the slider. |
