Cam Followers
A cam follower is a specialized, thick-walled roller or needle bearing featuring an integrated stud or yoke for mounting. It is designed to follow cam profiles, tracks, and linear guideways while supporting high radial and shock loads simultaneously. The outer ring is heat-treated and wear-resistant for long service life under dynamic conditions. Cam followers are commonly used in cam drives, conveyor systems, textile machinery, woodworking equipment, and automated assembly lines.
Built-in mounting
Integrated stud or yoke simplifies installation and eliminates separate shafts or mounting components.
High radial capacity
Thick-walled construction and optimized internal geometry enable handling of heavy radial and shock loads.
Crowned vs Cylindrical outer rings
Crowned outer rings reduce edge stresses due to minor misalignment; cylindrical outer rings provide maximum load capacity for precisely aligned applications.
