LME16UU Closed Linear Bushing For 16mm Linear Shaft Rail

LME16UU Linear Bearing – 16mm Shaft Diameter

LME16UU: 16x26x36mm

High-Precision Linear Motion for Medium Duty Applications

The LME16UU linear bearing offers smooth, low-friction linear motion in medium-load applications, while maintaining a compact design ideal for modern automation systems. Built to meet European metric standards, this bearing guarantees interchangeability with standardised linear components across the UK, Ireland, and beyond. It features an inner shaft diameter of 16mm, an outer diameter of 26mm, and a length of 36mm, delivering reliable linear travel with minimal maintenance and long service life.

Ideal for Industrial Automation and Equipment Builds

With a slightly larger diameter than smaller models, the LME16UU is suitable for a wide range of mid-sized automation equipment, including robotic arms, small conveyors, packaging machines, and precision pick-and-place systems. Its robust construction and consistent performance make it a dependable component in both prototyping and production environments, where repeatability and reliability are critical.

Engineered for Durability and Smooth Operation

The bearing is constructed with a hardened steel outer shell, offering excellent strength and resistance to wear under repeated load cycles. Internally, a resin-based retainer holds the bearing balls in precise alignment, ensuring consistent ball circulation and reducing friction between the moving elements. The internal raceways are precision ground, contributing to smooth, vibration-free movement with low noise output.

Dual rubber seals on either end of the bearing block prevent contaminants from entering the raceway, extending operational life and reducing the need for lubrication or cleaning. The LME16UU is particularly well-suited for environments where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. Its 36mm overall length provides sufficient load support while allowing for compact mechanical layouts.

As part of the European metric LME Series, the LME16UU offers full compatibility with standard shafting and is an ideal solution for both new machine designs and retrofit applications.
