Abstract
A profile rail (1) made of sheet metal and having a tooth profile (2) extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the tooth profile (2) is formed from a multiplicity of lugs (3) and is suitable for interacting with a gearwheel, wherein the lugs (3) are bent out from a base portion (4) of the profile rail (1) and project forwards and each lug (3) encloses a lug angle (A) with the base portion (4), wherein the lug (3) has a lug height (5) in the normal direction in relation to the base portion (4) and wherein the profile rail (1) has a cross section and wherein a first limb portion (6) adjoins a first side of the base portion (4) and a second limb portion (7) adjoins a second side of the base portion (4), the second side being located opposite the first side, wherein the first limb portion (6) encloses a first limb angle (B) with the base portion (4) and the second limb portion (7) encloses a second limb angle (C) with the base portion (4) and both limb portions (6, 7) project forwards, and wherein, for each lug (3), a first punching edge (8) is formed on the base portion (4) and a second punching edge (9) is formed on the lug (3) itself and wherein the first punching edges (8) extend in the transverse direction over the entire base portion (4).
