  • Patent number: 9062716
    Abstract: A moveable guide carriage forms a linear roller bearing on a guide rail. The guide carriage has four endlessly revolving rows of rollers that are guided in respective roller tracks. The guide carriage has a central main body with two end sides that are spaced apart from each other in the direction of movement. A respective end cap is arranged on the two end sides of the main body. The rows of rollers are deflected in the end caps. At least one of the end caps includes a lubricant input on an outer side. The guide carriage includes a branching lubricant line between the lubricant input and the four rows of rollers or the four roller tracks. At least two internal nonreturn valves are provided in the lubricant line in the interior of the end cap or between the end cap and the main body.

    Abstract: A guide carriage can be moved on a guide rail to form a linear roller bearing. The guide carriage has four endlessly revolving rows of rollers which are guided in respective roller tracks. The guide carriage has a central main body, which has two end sides that are spaced apart from each other in the direction of movement. On the two end sides of the main body is arranged a respective end cap bearing directly thereagainst or spaced apart therefrom. The rows of rollers are deflected in the end caps. A branching lubricant line is provided between a lubricant input, which is provided on an outer side of at least one end cap, and the four rows of rollers or the four roller tracks. Two or four internal nonreturn valves having a respective closing body, the opening direction of which nonreturn valves corresponds to the conveying direction, are provided in the lubricant line in the interior of the end cap or between the end cap and the main body.

  • Patent number: 8349102
    Abstract: A guide carriage for a linear roller bearing is supportable in a longitudinally displaceable manner via at least one row of rollers on a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction, a separate rolling surface part which includes a rolling surface for the rollers is assigned to each row of rollers, and the rolling surface part is connected via an adhesive layer to a carrier body. The adhesive layer is designed essentially planar on the back side of the rolling surface part which faces away from the rolling surface, the rolling surface part being accommodated in a recess—which has an L-shaped cross section—of the carrier body.
