Thomson Industries SSEPBOM16DD Linear Bearing 16mm

Product Description

The THOMSON INDUSTRIES SSEPBOM16DD is an open single pillow block linear bearing designed for linear motion applications in industrial machinery and automation systems. It features a 16mm round bore diameter and a dynamic load capacity of 2,200 pounds, making it suitable for demanding reciprocating motion applications. The self-aligning design compensates for minor shaft misalignment, reducing wear and extending service life. Licensed mechanical technicians and machine builders typically install this bearing in linear guide assemblies where a rigid, mountable housing is required alongside a round linear shaft.

This bearing is suited for light-to-medium industrial applications including CNC equipment, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and automated linear actuator assemblies. The open pillow block style allows the unit to be mounted to a flat surface via two mounting holes spaced 26mm apart, center to center, providing secure integration into machine frames and subassemblies. Its compact profile with an overall height of 35mm and overall width of 53mm fits installations with limited clearance.

Key Features

• 16mm round bore diameter for compatibility with standard 16mm linear shafts
• 2,200 pound dynamic load capacity for demanding linear motion duty
• Self-aligning bearing style compensates for minor shaft misalignment
• Open pillow block housing allows surface mounting with two-bolt configuration
• Compact overall height of 35mm suits space-constrained assemblies
• Super Smart Pillow Block bearing type for smooth, low-friction linear travel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade fit for industrial linear motion systems using 16mm round linear shafts in open pillow block configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or machine builders during linear actuator assembly or maintenance. Power down and de-energize all actuators and motion systems before handling or replacing any linear bearing. Ensure the mating linear shaft is clean, straight, and within tolerance before seating the bearing. Mounting fasteners should be tightened evenly to the machine frame to maintain shaft alignment and prevent uneven loading.
