LMES is the metric precision family member of the catalogue linear-bearing range. LMES is the metric precision series, intended for equipment where running accuracy and controlled clearance matter more than a generic bushing replacement. 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 59–60. The documented selection range is d = 10–50 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.
Key Features
Technical Specifications
| Item | Documented Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Series | LMES | Catalogue family identifier |
| Design form | Metric precision family | Mounting / envelope decision |
| Documented range | d = 10–50 mm | Use the exact model row for final dimensions |
| Key specification fields | model / ball circuits / weight / D1 / L ±0.2 / L1 / L2 / dr clearance / C / Co | Check drawing symbols and tolerance columns |
| Source | Catalogue pp. 59–60 | 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
LMES is suited to measuring systems, precision fixtures, laboratory machinery and fine automation where repeatable straight-line motion is required.
Open OP variants support applications that need an adjustable or supported-shaft arrangement while remaining within the precision series.
Selection Guide
Start with the shaft diameter, then check the catalogue clearance/tolerance column and the required open or closed form.
Treat housing accuracy and shaft finish as part of the bearing selection; a precision bushing cannot correct a poor datum or bent shaft.
Installation & Maintenance
Handle the bearing and shaft as precision components: keep them clean, avoid impact and protect the running surface during assembly.
If repeatability deteriorates, inspect contamination, shaft wear and housing movement before changing bearing preload or clearance.
