  • Patent number: 7587955
    Abstract: A lubricating unit for rolling element tracks of a linear system includes a lubricating element housing in which a receiving space for a lubricating element is formed, the lubricating element housing is mountable on a movable element of the linear system using a plurality of latch elements fixed in position relative to the lubricating unit housing, the movable element is movably guided via the rolling of rolling elements along a guide element, which defines an axis of the linear system, the latch elements extend in the axial direction away from one axial end of the lubricating unit toward the movable element, and each latch element includes a bearing surface facing the lubricating element housing for engaging with a matching bearing surface, which is fixed in position relative to the movable element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6513976
    Abstract: 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).

A band securing element (32a) is placed in the vicinity of each of the two longitudinal ends (30a) of the guide rail (12a). In accordance with a first inventive concept, 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). In accordance with a second inventive concept, at least one of the band securing elements (32a) is non-positively engaged with the cover band (24a) as well as with the guide rail (12a).
