Abstract
A linear rolling bearing has a guide carriage () that is U-shaped in cross-section and has two U-legs (). The guide carriage () is slidably supported through balls () on two longitudinal sides of a guide rail (). Each U-leg () comprises on an inner surface opposing the guide rail () a ground raceway () for the balls (). The raceway () is made by a grinding wheel whose diameter is larger than the diagonal dimension of the carriage cavity (). According to the invention, a stop surface () having a retaining contour for a guide member () containing the balls () is configured on a guide rail-distal outer surface of each U-leg () of the guide carriage (), and the raceway () on one of the two U-legs () and the stop surface () having the retaining contour on the other of the two U-legs () are made in common in one work step by the grinding wheel.
