Cam followers
Cam followers (stud-type track rollers) are designed to run on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, etc. They are based on either needle (fig. 1) or cylindrical (fig. 2) roller bearings. Instead of an inner ring, they have a threaded solid stud (pin). SKF supplies them ready-to-mount. They are available in several designs and variants:
- With (fig. 1) or without (fig. 2) a cage
- With different stud designs:
- With several sealing solutions
- With the outer ring running surface profile:
- Crowned as standard
- Cylindrical (flat)
In contrast to ball and roller bearings, where the bearing size refers to the bore diameter d, for cam followers the size refers to their outside diameter D.
