Abstract

A linear rolling bearing, having an approximately U-shaped guide carriage ( 2 ) which is arranged on a guide rail ( 1 ) and has two limbs ( 3 ) and a spine ( 4 ) which connects the two limbs ( 3 ), the two limbs ( 3 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) engaging around the guide rail ( 1 ), and rolling bodies rolling on raceways ( 5, 6 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) and of the guide rail ( 1 ) under preload, the raceways ( 5, 6 ) being formed on sides, which face one another, of the guide rail ( 1 ) and of the two limbs ( 3 ), and at least one sensor ( 9 ) being attached to the guide carriage ( 2 ), the sensor ( 9 ), which is embodied as a strain gauge ( 8 ), being attached centrally between the two limbs ( 3 ) to that side of the spine ( 4 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) which faces the guide rail ( 1 ).

Claims (4)

1. Linear rolling bearing, having an approximately U-shaped guide carriage ( 2 ) which is arranged on a guide rail ( 1 ) and has two limbs ( 3 ) and a spine ( 4 ) which connects the two limbs ( 3 ), the two limbs ( 3 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) engaging around the guide rail ( 1 ), and rolling bodies rolling on raceways ( 5 , 6 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) and of the guide rail ( 1 ) under preload, the raceways ( 5 , 6 ) being formed on sides, which face one another, of the guide rail ( 1 ) and of the two limbs ( 3 ), and at least one sensor ( 9 ) being attached to the guide carriage ( 2 ), characterized in that the sensor ( 9 ), which is embodied as a strain gauge ( 8 ), is attached centrally between the two limbs ( 3 ) to that side of the spine ( 4 ) of the guide carriage ( 2 ) which faces the guide rail ( 1 ).

2. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , in which the spine ( 4 ) is provided with at least one passage opening ( 7 ), the strain gauge ( 8 ) being arranged in the immediate vicinity of the passage opening ( 7 ).

3. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 2 , in which the smallest distance between the strain gauge ( 8 ) and the passage opening ( 7 ) is greater than or equal to zero and smaller than the opening width of the passage opening ( 7 ).

4. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , in which the passage opening ( 7 ) is arranged centrally between the two limbs ( 3 ).
