Abstract:
A linear guide device, comprising:a guide rail with a longitudinal axis and at least one guideway, a runner assembly guided at the guideway, of which there is a least one, in the direction of the longitudinal axis, said at least one guideway being covered, in the direction of the longitudinal axis, on both sides of the runner assembly substantially over the respective entire usable remaining length by a cover strip which lies against at least one cover strip contact zone of the guide rail or is close to said cover strip contact zone, securing means provided at at least one of the guide rail and the cover strip for securing the cover strip to the guide rail outside of the region of the runner assembly in the covering position, and said runner assembly being constructed in end regions with strip curvature means which give the cover strip a forced curvature facilitating its entry between mutually opposite narrow-side contact zones and therefore reducing the distance between the narrow sides of the cover strip.
