Abstract

A linear ball bush, wherein at least one straight ball row of a ball circuit bears radially outwardly against a running plate, which is inserted in an associated aperture of a cage and possesses an outer face for bearing against an inner circumferential surface of a bearing housing bore seating the cage, is filled in the manner that the balls, with the running plate tilted at one end out of the aperture, are introduced via a filling slope at the open end of the aperture and/or a filling chamfer at the outwardly tilted end of the running plate into a straight portion of a track, and that after the balls of the ball circuit have been completed, the running plate is tilted back into an operating position and is secured in the operating position.
