Thomson SSEM16 Linear Ball Bearing

The Thomson SSEM16 Linear Ball Bearing delivers precise, low‑friction guidance for 16 mm shaft systems in automated equipment. As part of the Super Smart Ball Bushing Series, it uses a closed, adjustable, self‑aligning design optimized for end‑supported shafts, providing smooth motion in CNC machines, packaging equipment, pick‑and‑place systems, and assembly lines where accurate linear positioning matters. Key specifications include a 16 mm shaft diameter; 26 mm outside diameter; 36 mm overall length; dynamic load capacity of 2200 N (495 lbf); static load capacity of 2400 N; steel bearing material; grease‑lubricated operation; maximum operating temperature of 85°C; weight 0.03 kg; and recommended Thomson MM Class shafting. Common applications encompass CNC routers, semiconductor equipment, robotic assemblies, packaging machines, and inspection systems within industrial motion environments. The design features an adjustable preload and a closed housing for reliable guidance, and common replacements include Thomson Super Ball Bushing SSM16, THK LM16UU, and NSK LM16UU bearings.
