Abstract
A linear displacement guide, comprising a guide rail and slide that is supported via roller elements on the guide rail. The guide rail contains a groove extending essentially in longitudinal direction and through openings that can be covered for fastening the guide rail, wherein at least one of the through openings is located in the groove region. The linear displacement guide is provided with a covering means to be arranged on and secured to the guide rail to permit a simple and tolerance-insensitive assembly. The invention suggests securing the covering means, designed as cover band (4), on the guide rail. The cover band should comprise a center section (20) and two adjoining clamping legs (21), which are angled relative to the center section (20), wherein the cover band (4) can be fastened to the guide rail (1) by fitting the two clamping legs against the side walls (15) of groove (14).
