About Cam Followers

Cam followers are specialized bearings that are supported from a single point on their circumference. On the point of contact, singular roller forces create a bending of the outer ring. This bending creates an outer ring deformation with reversed bending stresses in dynamic applications, a decreased load zone, and a higher maximum roller load. In attempts to minimize deformation, cam followers need to include a heavier cross-section than a standard bearing. This requirement conflicts with the need for maximum dynamic bearing capacity with calls for the largest roller diameter possible.

Cam followers come in a variety of designs with specialized options. These options include re-lubrication with built-in grease fittings, an integral threaded-stud mounting option, crowned outer rings to handle misalignment, additional stud strength for high-shock loading, and corrosion resistance for food processing and pharmaceutical applications. Before choosing cam followers, it is important to consider these options.
