LMEK…UU is the european metric square-flange family member of the catalogue linear-bearing range. The square flange is paired with the European LME body envelope, giving four-corner mounting for metric machine plates. The practical buying question is whether its envelope and mounting style match the shaft, housing and carriage already designed into the machine.
The supplied catalogue places this series on pages 47–48. The documented selection range is d = 8–60 mm. Rather than treating the series code as interchangeable with a similar-looking bushing, confirm the exact diameter family and the mounting geometry before an RFQ is released.

| Item | Documented Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Series | LMEK…UU | Catalogue family identifier |
| Design form | European metric square-flange family | Mounting / envelope decision |
| Documented range | d = 8–60 mm | Use the exact model row for final dimensions |
| Key specification fields | model / dr / European D / L / flange width / bolt pattern / flange F / runout / clearance / C / Co / weight | Check drawing symbols and tolerance columns |
| Source | Catalogue pp. 47–48 | Supplied bearing catalogue / outline |
Catalogue note: The source provides model-by-model tables. This import row intentionally keeps the published family limits and field structure; final dimensions, C/Co ratings and mass must be taken from the selected catalogue model rather than inferred from a neighbouring size.
Applications
LMEK bearings work well on rectangular European-format carriages and maintenance replacements where the four-hole footprint is already fixed.
They can also simplify new modular slides by locating the bearing with a repeatable square flange.
Selection Guide
Record the existing bolt pattern and bearing body diameter before choosing a same-bore replacement.
When two LMEK bearings share a carriage, alignment of both flange seats matters as much as the nominal radial clearance.
Installation & Maintenance
Use a cross-bolt tightening sequence and a flat mounting face to avoid skewing the bearing.
Inspect the shaft and flange joints after commissioning; asymmetric wear usually indicates plate distortion or rail misalignment.
