Engineering Your Linear Motion Solutions
Cam Rollers and Cam Followers are easily mounted and ideally suited for many cam or track roller applications with moderate loading and shock. Cam Rollers are designed to be mounted on an existing shaft, while Cam Followers come with an integrated shaft, reducing the number of parts needed for your application. Bearings are sealed to help prevent contamination and retain lubrication. Concentric Followers are recommended for applications where the stud hole can be accurately machined to within +0.0000" and -0.0005". For applications where these tolerances cannot be held, the Eccentric style is recommended. The outer race of Cam Followers is made from high carbon chrome bearing steel, which is through-hardened for strength and durability and ground to a smooth finish to reduce friction and wear. The studs and inner races are low carbon alloy steel carburized and induction hardened. A zone hardened raceway leaves the shank end ductile, and the needle rollers are high carbon chrome bearing steel through-hardened and ground.
