Abstract
The present invention relates to a linear guide arrangement comprising a guide rail with at least one axis and at least one guide carriage movable on the guide rail in the direction of the axis. The guide carriage runs on the guide rail with intermediacy of an endless rolling-element circuit. To this end, the guide carriage is designed with a guide carriage housing and with a carriage member made separately from the guide carriage housing and accommodated within the guide carriage housing. The guide carriage housing comprises at least one side panel adjacent to the rolling-element circuit and substantially parallel to the axial direction, as well as at least one end plate adjacent to the rolling-element circuit and substantially orthogonal to the axial direction. The bearing row of rolling elements runs on the carriage member.
