Abstract
A circumferential guide for rolling bodies for use in a linear guide unit which has a carriage-type part and a rail-type part that has at least one loaded roller body row and one unloaded roller body row during the intended operation. The circumferential guide is configured as a pre-mountable unit. A linear guide unit is also disclosed that contains at least one circumferential guide. The circumferential guide has at least one component for the rolling bodies, which at least partially guides both the loaded rolling body rows and the unloaded rolling body rows (Ru) during the intended operation. This configuration achieves that the parts requirement for the circumferential guide can be held low, resulting both in a reduction of production costs and in a compact and stable shape of the same.
