The invention concerns a guide system with rolling elements, in particular ball bearings, for slide devices having a first and a second slide members (11, 12) coupled and guided between them, where a slide member (12) is susceptible to alternative linear movements compared with the other slide member (11) with the interposition of two linear sets of ball bearings (31, 31′). One of said slide members (12), on at least one of its sides parallel with the movement direction, has an opening which is integrated by a variable clamping finishing cheek (28) to establish an adjustable preload of the two sets of ball bearings between the first and the second slide members.
A guide system with rolling elements, in particular ball bearings, for slide devices having a first slide member and a second slide member coupled and guided between the slide devices, wherein one of said first slide member and said second slide member is susceptible to alternative linear movements compared with another one of said first slide member and said second slide member with the interposition of two linear sets of ball bearings, wherein said one of said first slide member and said second slide member, on at least one side parallel with a movement direction, has an opening and is integrated by a variable clamping finishing cheek which is located and fixed in said opening to establish an adjustable preload of the two sets of ball bearings between the first slide member and the second slide member.
