Abstract: Device for the translational guidance of a load and method for creating such a device. The guide device (1) comprises an elongate bed plate (2), a mobile carriage (6) which serves to support the load, and guide means (7) that allow the carriage (6) to move longitudinally in relation to the bed plate (2), said carriage (6) comprising a bottom plate (9) which is provided with through-cuts (10) intended to give it at least some lateral elasticity, and which is mounted on the bed plate (2) under lateral stress, as well as a platform (13) which is fixed to the top face of this bottom plate (9) at fixing points (14).
