Abstract

A linear guiding apparatus for guiding an object, comprising a rail system and a first partial group of object-guiding rail runner elements primarily responsible for the guiding precision of the object, which first partial group comprises at least one group member, the guiding rail runner elements being guided in a moving direction along associated roller paths of the rail system by rolling member loops mounted on the guiding rail runner elements, a second partial group of damping elements guided along the rail system, connected with the object and being primarily responsible for the damping of vibrations directed transversely to the moving direction being additionally provided between the object and the rail system, which second partial group comprises at least one group member, the damping elements differing from the guiding rail runner elements with respect to the internal structure and/or with respect to the mounting relationship between the object and the rail system.
