A linear rolling bearing has a guide carriage (1) that is U-shaped in
cross-section
and has two U-legs (6). The guide carriage (1) is slidably supported
through balls (3) on two longitudinal sides of a guide rail (2).
Each U-leg (6) comprises on an inner surface opposing the guide rail (2)
a ground raceway (10) for the balls (3). The raceway (10)
is made by a grinding wheel whose diameter is larger than the diagonal dimension
of the carriage cavity (7). According to the invention, a stop surface (12)
having a retaining contour for a guide member (4) containing the balls (3)
is configured on a guide rail-distal outer surface of each U-leg (6) of
the guide carriage (1), and the raceway (10) on one of the two U-legs
(6) and the stop surface (12) having the retaining contour on the
other of the two U-legs (6) are made in common in one work step by the grinding wheel.
