Extended-length design delivers higher load capacity, longer lubrication life, and improved rigidity for automation and machinery builders
YIDI MOTION, a manufacturer of linear motion components, today announced the launch of the LME-L series of longer-type linear ball bearings. Built on the proven LME metric housing interface, the LME-L series extends the overall length and adds recirculating ball circuits, giving design engineers a direct drop-in upgrade when a standard-length bearing is approaching its load, life, or rigidity limit.
Engineered for Longer Life and Higher Loads
The LME-L series targets applications where stroke length, mounting envelope, and load rating push a standard linear ball bearing toward its service limit. By lengthening the outer cylinder and increasing the number of loaded ball train circuits, the series distributes radial load across more balls, lowering contact stress per ball and extending rated travel life without changing the standard metric housing bore.
“Customers told us they needed more load capacity and longer maintenance intervals, but they could not redesign the housing,” said a spokesperson for YIDI MOTION. “The LME-L series answers that directly: same mounting envelope, longer effective bearing length, and double-sealed pre-lubricated operation out of the box.”
Key Features
Full Bore Range: 8 mm to 60 mm
The LME-L series ships in nine standard bore sizes, all pre-lubricated with double-end seals as standard:
| Modello | Bore d (mm) | OD D (mm) | Length L (mm) | File di sfere | Carico dinamico C (N) | Carico statico C₀ (N) | Approx. Weight (g) |
| LME8LUU | 8 | 16 | 46 | 4 | 421 | 804 | 40 |
| LME12LUU | 12 | 22 | 61 | 4 | 813 | 1,570 | 80 |
| LME16LUU | 16 | 26 | 68 | 5 | 921 | 1,780 | 115 |
| LME20LUU | 20 | 32 | 80 | 5 | 1,370 | 2,740 | 180 |
| LME25LUU | 25 | 40 | 112 | 6 | 1,570 | 3,140 | 430 |
| LME30LUU | 30 | 47 | 123 | 6 | 2,500 | 5,490 | 615 |
| LME40LUU | 40 | 62 | 151 | 6 | 3,430 | 8,040 | 1,400 |
| LME50LUU | 50 | 75 | 192 | 6 | 6,080 | 15,900 | 2,320 |
| LME60LUU | 60 | 90 | 209 | 6 | 7,550 | 20,000 | 3,920 |
Specifications are nominal and subject to final factory confirmation. Consult YIDI MOTION for tolerance, preload, and lubrication data before selection.
Applicazioni tipiche
The LME-L series is suited to Cartesian gantry systems, packaging machinery, 3D printing platforms, semiconductor and electronics handling equipment, medical devices, textile machinery, and general automation where a compact, self-lubricating linear bushing is preferred over a profiled rail.
Availability
Standard LME-L series sizes are available for sample and volume orders directly from YIDI MOTION. Custom bore tolerances, seal options, and OEM modifications are supported on request.
