The module is remarkable in that it comprises a body (1) obtained by hollow extrusion with internal sides (1.3) and 1.4) and a rectilinear and horizontal bottom face provided with profiled fixing notches the bottom base (1.5) making up a supporting surface corresponding to the maxiumum width of the guide body, the length of the bottom base of the latter having a longitudinal opening enabling the positioning of a connecting strip and above, a longitudinal guided profile taking a guide rail (11) associated to the said strip, the said guide rail taking one or more transfer slides supporting a profiled saddle (3-17), and wherein the top edges (1.8) of the said body have a horizontal wing defining a top longitudinal slot enabling the said saddle (3-17) to be moved and sealing means to be positioned, and wherein the top part of the said saddle (3-17) has a narrow section (3.8) and (17.5) extending outside the said body and wherein a means inserted into the body provides controlled and limited longitudinal movement of the said saddle.
A linear guiding module comprising a hollow extruded body having a horizontal base corresponding to the maximum width of said body containing profiled fixing notches, said body further wings horizontally extended from the top of each side defining a longitudinally extended slot, a saddle having a narrow section located in said slot, an extended top section situated outside said body and an extended bottom section situated inside said body, a guide shaft mounted inside said body that operatively engages said body section of the saddle to reciprocally move said saddle longitudinally along said body, a connecting strip mounted in a longitudinally extended opening formed in said base, said strip extending along the entire length of said body, a guide rail mounted inside said body in a recess formed in the top of said base over said strip, means to connect said guide rail to said strip, slide means mounted on the bottom section of said saddle and being arranged to move along the guide rail, said bottom section of the saddle having a pair of opposed peripheral edges that pass downwardly along opposite sides of the slide means to center the saddle on said slide means, and a protective strip means mounted within the slot between the wings to protect the inside of said body.
