The plate has a rectangular recess that fits on the narrow side of the guide rail. The plate can be pushed onto a free limb of the guide rail. The recess has on both sides of the free limb an offset that serves for conducting away the lubricating oil, wherein the lubricating oil passes into a lubricating oil collector below the plate. In addition, the plate has in the rail region a bent-over portion at which a screw is arranged. The plate is fixed in the “Y” direction by the screw, in the “Z” direction by the recess and in the “X” direction by the buffer support.
