Patent number: 7476032Abstract: A guide rail (12) of a linear guide unit (10) is provided with at least one running rail (16), which has at least two races (16a) that have different load transmission directions. According to the present invention, the running rail (16) is attached to the guide rail (12) by means of roller insertion; in the surface sections (12a) associated with the races (16a) of the running rail (16), the guide rail (12) is provided with a plurality supporting ribs (12a1); and the supporting ribs (12a1) associated with one and the same race (16a) are aligned essentially parallel to the load transmission direction (B) of this race (16a). In addition or alternatively, in a section (12d) that is not intrinsically deformed by the roller insertion of the at least one running rail (16), the guide rail (12) has at least one additional rolled section. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing guide rails of this kind (12).Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2007Date of Patent: January 13, 2009Assignee: Rexroth Star GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Kuellstaedt, Richard Kuehnlein, Thomas Wahler, Roland Greubel, German Duetsch, Werner Keller, Stefan Dorn, Steven Worcester, Werner Blaurock

Patent number: 7241048Abstract: A linear guide device has a guide rail extending in a guiding direction, a guide carriage guided on the guide rail by at least one roll body revolving mechanism in the guiding direction. The at least one roll body revolving mechanism includes a revolving passage and a plurality of roll bodies which revolve in the revolving passage. The revolving passage has a running passage which is limited by a roll body running path formed on the guide rail and by a load-receiving wall portion of the guide car a return passage, and two deviating passages which connect the running passage with the return passage and in which the roll bodies are substantially load free. The guide carriage has a base unit and at least one revolving component group, the revolving component group having at least one lower wall portion of a wall which limits the return passage and at least one lower wall portion of a wall which limits the deviating passages.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2003Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Rexroth Star GmbHInventors: Werner Keller, German Duetsch, Roland Greubel

Patent number: 6513976Abstract: In a linear guide arrangement (10a) with an elongated guide rail (12a) and a guide carriage (14a) that can travel thereon in the lengthwise direction (L) of the guide rail (12a), a surface of the guide rail (12a) facing the guide carriage (14a) is covered by a cover band (24a). A band securing element (32a) is placed in the vicinity of each of the two longitudinal ends (30a) of the guide rail (12a). The two band securing elements (32a) jointly secure the cover band (24a) at least with respect to its displacement in lengthwise direction (L) of the guide rail (12a), wherein each of the band securing elements (32a) at least impedes movement of the cover band (24a) relative to the guide rail (12a) directed towards the other band securing element (32a). At least one of the band securing elements (32a) can be non-positively engaged with the cover band (24a) as well as with the guide rail (12a).Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Rexroth Star GmbHInventors: Harald Maiss, Richard Weidner, Günter Blaurock, Herbert Kirchner, Holger Schmitt, German Dütsch, Alfred Haub

Patent number: 6435719Abstract: A linear guide device comprises a guide rail (10) with a longitudinal axis (12) and at least one guideway (16), as well as a runner carriage (14) guided at the guideway (16), in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The guideway (16) is covered before and after the runner carriage (14) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (12) substantially over its entire length by a cover strip (56) which in one embodiment lies against two cover strip contact zones (58), disposed on both sides of the guideway (16), of the guide rail (10). The guideway (16) and the cover strip contact zones (58) are in particular formed at a rail body of the guide rail (10) which is of a uniform base material. The cover strip (56) protects the guideway (10) against contaminants which may cause damage to the guideway (16) and impair the smooth running and guide precision of the runner assembly (14) on the guide rail (10).Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Rexroth Star GmbHInventors: Gerhard Riedel, German Dütsch
