Abstract
A guide rail includes a base rail with at least one finger extending from a first portion of the base rail, and at least one finger extending from a second portion of the base rail. A race insert is mounted against the fingers. A first race way is associated with the at least one finger extending from the first portion of the base rail. A second race way is associated with the at least one finger extending from the second portion of the base rail. The first and second race ways have different load transmission directions. The load transmission direction of the first race way is non-parallel to the at least one finger extending from the first portion of the base rail. The load transmission direction of the second race way is non-parallel to the at least one finger extending from the second portion of the base rail.
