A linear guide comprises a linear guide comprises a rail having a plurality of running tracks, a carriage having at least one sliding element positioned opposite at least one of the running tracks, and an adjuster positioned between the at least one sliding element and the carriage. The sliding element has an inclined surface that faces away from the at least one running track and extends at an angle with respect to a travel direction of the carriage. The inclined surface has a plurality of first steps. The adjuster is shiftable in the travel direction and has an adjuster surface with a plurality of second steps that rest in shiftable fashion against the plurality of first steps. The adjuster is biased in a biasing direction against the sliding element such that the second plurality of steps can slide over the first plurality of steps as the sliding element moves in the travel direction.
