A method of providing a linear drive with an axially play-free entrainment connection between at least one linearly travelling rod () and a guide unit able to be moved parallel thereto. Between a coupling member (), projecting to the fore of the rod (), of the guide unit and the terminal face () of the rod () adhesive () is applied and then the components are so screwed together that athwart the direction of displacement relative motion is still possible. Then the entire unit is shifted between its two terminal positions even prior to curing of the adhesive (), the components then aligning themselves. After the adhesive is cured the screw connection is finally drawn tight.
