• the supporting surface and the sliding part have contact through contact points where the supporting surface of the frame part is in contact with the outer surface of the sliding part,
• said contact points are constituting a minor fraction of the corresponding surface of said outer surface of the sliding part,
• the contact points providing for at least one of the supporting surface and the sliding part capability to bend for absorbing guide rail imperfections.
