Abstract

In a linear ball bush of part-annular form it is proposed that part-annular seals are secured against rotation about the cage axis by shape-locking engagement with a cage and are movable radially in relation to the cage axis over their substantially entire circumferential extent. Further it is proposed that longitudinal seal strips each comprise a root part received by a longitudinal groove of the cage and a tongue part resting on the shaft, these longitudinal sealing strips being provided with projections at their ends which rest under a longitudinal tension against an axially directed support shoulder of the cage.
