Abstract

A running wheel block, including a housing having at least one connecting surface for connection to a supporting structure, two inwardly directed rotary bearing holding hubs arranged in the housing, rotary bearings mounted on the hubs, a running wheel mounted in the rotary bearings so that a section of its running surface projects from the housing toward at least one side and a cover connected to the housing so as to close the housing. The holding hubs include a first holding hub that is arranged on the cover. The cover has centering members for fixing a position of the holding hub relative to an axis of the running wheel when the cover is closed.
