Abstract

In a linear guide device comprising: a guide rail fixedly secured to the mounting surface of a supporting member such as a machine bed; and a slider slidably engaged with the guide rail. Recesses are formed in the mounting surface of the guide rail and in the mounting surface of the supporting member, respectively, to provide a space therein. The space thus provided is filled with a hardenable filling material. The hardenable filling material is solidified therein, thus serving as a key held between the guide rail and the supporting member to prevent the guide rail from being displaced sidewards.
