PRECISION & RELIABILITY MEET EASY MOUNTING & MAINTENANCE WITH IKO CAM FOLLOWERS

Cam followers convert rotary motion to linear motion in various machines. They are a guide mechanism that makes rolling contact to the cam lobe profile and transfers a prescribed motion to the component that needs to move on a linear axis. Typical applications include machine tools, industrial robots, conveyors, pallet changers, packaging machinery, electronic parts production, office automation equipment and sewing machines.

When properly installed, a cam follower will distribute loads evenly without deflections and misalignment. Many cam followers incorporate a stud and a rotating outer ring, while others mount to the mating part via a through hole. Standard cam followers typically offer a broad range of stud diameters to suit a wide variety of applications. They traditionally include a hex fitting on the outside of the bearing for tightening into place:
