Abstract

Linear rolling bearing, having a guide carriage ( 1 ) which can be provided so as to be longitudinally movable on a guide rail ( 2 ) and in which rolling bodies ( 4 ) circulate in an endless rolling body channel ( 3 ) which has a load section ( 5 ) and a return section ( 6 ) and deflecting sections ( 7 ) which connect the load section ( 5 ) to the return section ( 6 ) in an endless fashion and which are in each case provided on a head piece ( 10 ) of the guide carriage ( 1 ) and have in each case one outer deflection ( 12 ) for the deflection of the rolling bodies ( 4 ), with the outer deflection ( 12 ) being formed from a plastic whose flexibility is specified by a quotient determined from the ratio of fracture strain to fracture stress, which quotient is greater than 0.15 in magnitude, with the fracture strain being specified in percent and the fracture stress being specified in megapascals.

Claims (6)

1. Linear rolling bearing, comprising a guide carriage which can be provided so as to be longitudinally movable on a guide rail and in which rolling bodies circulate in an endless rolling body channel which has a load section and a return section and deflecting sections which connect the load section to the return section in an endless fashion and which are in each case provided on a head piece of the guide carriage and have in each case one outer deflection for the deflection of the rolling bodies, wherein the outer deflection is formed from a plastic whose flexibility is specified by a quotient determined from the ratio of fracture strain to fracture stress, which quotient is greater than 0.15 in magnitude, with the fracture strain being specified in percent and the fracture stress being specified in megapascals.

2. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the flexibility is greater than 10 in magnitude.

3. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the fracture stress of the plastic is less than 60 megapascals.

4. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the fracture strain of the plastic is greater than 10 percent.

5. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the head piece with the integrally formed outer deflection is formed from said plastic.

6. Linear rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the deflecting section comprises an inner deflection between which and the outer deflection the rolling bodies are arranged, with the inner deflection being formed from said plastic.
