Abstract
A linear module has a housing, at least one guide rail on a bottom wall within the housing, and a carriage that is longitudinally translatable relative to the housing on the guide rail. The carriage extends from within the housing through at least one longitudinal slit in a side face of the housing perpendicular to the bottom wall to an outside of the housing. At least one flexible slit seal seals the longitudinal slit in a section of the slit where the carriage does not project through the slit.
