Cam Followers

Cam followers, also called track followers, are speciality bearings that have been specifically created to follow cams or tracks in various linear motion applications. Additionally, these components are essential for converting rotary motion into linear motion. Featuring robust construction and precision engineering, cam followers are indispensable in modern manufacturing environments where reliability and accuracy are critical. Their design allows for direct mounting on a shaft or stud, eliminating the need for additional housing or supportive structures. This simplifies the design and assembly process and enhances system reliability and performance.

Popular Cam Follower Types

• Standard Cam Followers: Ideal for typical applications where outer ring rotation is required.
• Yoke-Type Cam Followers: Used in applications where higher loads are expected and mounting needs to be supported by side rails.
• Heavy-Duty Cam Followers: Built for extreme conditions and heavier loads.
