  • Patent number: 5445455
    Abstract: In a roller bearing (1) for the straightline movement of a supporting component (2) along a guide rail (6), the quantity of re-lubrication is to be minimized regardless of the installation position of the roller bearing (1). This is acheived by the invention in that a separate lubricant line (13) is inserted in a channel (10) of a head (8) for the lubricant supply which takes the form of a single-lipped seal (16) in a region in which lubricacant exiet points are desired.
