Abstract
A slider of a linear-movement guide, which is provided in a rail-supported arrangement, has a center segment and two legs that respectively adjoin the center segment so that the slider has an essentially U-shaped cross section, and a recess that extends parallel to the axis of longitudinal movement. The slider further has at least one roller-body track in the region of the two legs, with each roller-body track having a return conduit, a support zone and two diversion conduits that connect the return conduit and the support zone to one another. At least one leg has at least one groove, and an insert for diverting the roller bodies is inserted into the groove.
