ABSTRACT:
A linear drive which has a housing with a longitudinal slot. A drive part able to be longitudinally moved in the housing is connected by the aid of a link part, running in the longitudinal slot, with a guide part, which is guided for motion on a longitudinal guide arranged outside the housing. As a longitudinal guide a rod guide is provided, which has at least one guide rod adjacent to the housing and spaced from it radially. The guide rod is exposed along its guide stroke and has the guide part encircling it. There is therefore the possibility of accurate guiding of the moving unit without being affected by any tendency of the housing to splay outwards. The costs of manufacture are low.
