    Abstract: A control device for controlling a linear actuator having a linear motor and a brake device includes a magnetic pole position estimation means to estimate which of a plurality of sections obtained by dividing a magnetic pole position of 0° to 360°, the mover is located in on the basis of a direction of movement of the mover by pulse energization, a magnetic pole position setting means to perform direct current excitation at an estimated magnetic pole position estimated by the magnetic pole position estimation means and set the estimated magnetic pole position as a magnetic pole position of the mover, and a brake control means to turn on a brake device before pulse energization by the magnetic pole position estimation means is performed and turn off the brake device after the magnetic pole position estimation means estimates the section in which the mover is located.

    Abstract: A motion guide apparatus ensures that a retaining portion retains a rolling element. A rolling element retainer having retaining portions that prevent a rolling element from falling out of a movable body, the retaining portions extending along a loaded rolling element rolling portion, is incorporated in the movable body of the motion guide apparatus. End plates are formed integrally with the retaining portions. Fall prevention portions to reduce the widths of openings between the retaining portions are provided to center parts of the retaining portions in a length direction thereof. The fall prevention portions are padding portions integrated with the retaining portions, the padding portions rising in such a manner as to reduce the widths of the openings, and/or projections integrated with the retaining portions, the projections touching the movable body in such a manner that the center parts of the retaining portions bend toward a track member.

    Abstract: This slewing bearing includes: an inner ring having an inner-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface on an outer peripheral surface; an outer ring having an ring-side rolling-element rolling surface on an inner peripheral surface, and being arranged outside the inner ring such that the outer-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface faces the inner-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface; and a plurality of rolling elements rollably disposed on a rolling-element rolling passage formed by the inner-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface and the outer-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface. The inner ring or the outer ring is configured to have combination of a press-worked part having a contour shape formed by pressing work, and a removal-processed part including at least the inner-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface or the outer-ring-side rolling-element rolling surface formed by removal processing. Such a configuration makes it possible to provide a slewing bearing having a structure that can be manufactured at low cost while maintaining a certain performance.
