Patent ID: 8888484

Claim:
A guide shoe of a guiding device of a plastic processing machine clamping unit for supporting and guiding a moving mold platen in a clamping direction of the plastic processing machine, said guide shoe comprising: a main part which is elongated in the clamping direction and configured for attachment of sliding or rolling elements; and a connecting element spaced from the main part and extending substantially vertical in the clamping direction (x-direction), said connecting element having a fixing region configured for attachment of the moving mold platen in a decoupled manner from the main part, said connecting element designed as a deformation element having a connecting region to secure the deformation element to the main part and to form a target bending zone with respect to a bend about a bending axis extending in a substantially parallel relation to the clamping direction, said deformation element forming a target torsion zone about a torsion axis extending in substantially perpendicular relation to the clamping direction.
