The unmounted bearing assembly consists of hardened precision ground inner and outer raceways. They also have either full complement or separated needle, ball, tapered, or cylindrical rolling elements constructed with an integrated stud. Heavy stud versions are for heavy loads, shock loading and applications requiring minimal deflection. Except for the stud diameter and end plate design, standard and heavy stud versions are virtually identical.
To get the most out of cam followers, engineers should know the different variations and factors that affect performance and operational life.
Cam followers convert rotary to linear motion and range from simple two-dimensional cams to complex three-dimensional indexing cams with several followers. In linear-motion applications, cam followers support lateral or vertical travel, such as rollers for platform support and die transfer. In any application, cam follower bearings reduce sliding friction and wear on the cam and track, which lets it maintain its precision. Overall, the choice of which type of bearing is used affects the cam follower’s performance.
