1. A line-guiding device, comprising a plurality of links which are connected to one another in an articulated fashion and form a loop consisting of an upper run, a deflection region, and a lower run, wherein neighboring links are pivotable relative to each other about a respective pivot axis, wherein the respective pivot axis is, at least in a case of some of the neighboring links, arranged closer to a loop inner side than a loop outer side, wherein the neighboring links each have two side tabs situated opposite each other, wherein the side tabs of the neighboring links form at least one running surface on the loop inner side, wherein at least the some of the neighboring links have a respective roller arranged in a recess and projecting from the at least one running surface, wherein the upper run and the lower run are bearable against each other via the at least one running surface in such a way that the upper run and the lower run are moveable relative to each other by the rollers, and wherein the at least one running surface is interrupted at the at least the some of the neighboring links by a plurality of depressions.
