Thomson SSEM16 Linear Ball Bearing

Description:

The Thomson SSEM16 Linear Ball Bearing is used in precision linear motion systems to provide smooth, low-friction movement along hardened shafting in industrial automation equipment. Commonly installed in CNC machines, packaging equipment, pick-and-place systems, assembly machinery, and material handling equipment requiring accurate linear positioning and motion control. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for linear bearing replacements, machine rebuilds, motion control retrofits, and OEM equipment maintenance. The SSEM16 features a self-aligning, adjustable closed design for end-supported shaft applications.

Applications:

The Thomson SSEM16 linear ball bearing is commonly used to provide precision linear guidance in automated machinery and motion control systems. Typical applications for the SSEM16 include CNC routers, semiconductor equipment, robotic assemblies, packaging machines, inspection systems, and industrial automation equipment requiring a 16 mm shaft bearing with self-alignment capability and long service life. The Super Smart Ball Bushing design offers increased load capacity and extended travel life compared to conventional linear bearings.
