Slide for a linear guide, and linear guide comprising such a slide

A slide (31) for a linear guide (1) which comprises the slide (31) and a rail element (2) having two running surfaces (5, 6) which face one another, wherein the slide (31) comprises

• a main part (7), and
• a plurality of rolling bodies (9),
• wherein the plurality of rolling bodies (9) are received on the main part (7) such that the plurality of rolling bodies (9) can roll at least on the two running surfaces (5, 6) or carry out a sliding movement relative to the two running surfaces (5, 6),
• wherein the main part (7) defines a position of each one of the plurality of rolling bodies (9) in a pull-out direction (11) relative to the main part (7),
• characterised in that
• the slide further comprises
• two slide elements (15, 16), and
• a spring element (20),
• wherein each of the two slide elements (15, 16) is mounted on the main part such that each of the two slide elements can move in a vertical direction (14) perpendicular to the pull-out direction (11) so that each of the two slide elements (15, 16) can be brought into frictional engagement with a respective running surface (5, 6), and
• wherein the spring element (20) is mounted on the main part (7) such that the spring element (20) biases the two slide elements (15, 16) away from one another in the vertical direction, and
• wherein each of the two slide elements (15, 16) comprises a T-shaped portion,
• wherein a crossbar of the T-shaped portion can be brought into frictional engagement with the running surface (5, 6) of the rail element (2) and a vertical bar receives the spring element.
