Abstract: A guide arrangement in linear power units having a housing (1) and a slide (2) linearly movable relative to the housing, and is designed to relieve the slide of transverse forces, lateral forces etc., in order to reduce wear and eliminate jamming. According to the invention, this is achieved in that at least one guide rail (6) is arranged parallel to the direction of action of the linear power unit, that the housing (1) is fixedly connected to the guide rail (6), and that the slide (2) is hingedly connected in a manner to transmit push and pull forces only, to a guide device (7) guided on the guide rail (6).
