High Rigidity Roller Stud Mounted Cam Follower from China Suppliers | Durable Factory Solutions for Heavy Loads
Types & Configurations
One-piece stud design with threaded or unthreaded shanks. Standard for linear motion systems.
Designed with yoke lugs for pivot mounting. Used in linkage mechanisms.
Eccentric stud allows radial adjustment (±0.5–2 mm) for precise alignment.
Crowned rings compensate for misalignment; flat rings maximize contact area.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stud-type cam followers and yoke-type roller followers?
Stud-type cam followers (e.g., CF Series) use a one-piece stud for direct mounting and are standard in linear motion systems. Yoke-type roller followers (e.g., CRY Series) feature yoke lugs designed for pivot mounting, making them better suited for linkage mechanisms.
When should I choose a crowned outer ring over a flat outer ring?
Choose a crowned outer ring when your application involves shaft or track misalignment, as the crowned profile distributes load more evenly. Flat outer rings are preferred when full surface contact is needed to maximize load capacity on well-aligned tracks.
What is the maximum operating speed for cam followers?
Cam followers are typically rated for speeds of ≤ 500 rpm. Exceeding this limit increases the risk of sliding contact, heat buildup, and premature wear. For higher-speed applications, consult the manufacturer's specifications for the specific series.
What materials are used in cam follower construction?
Outer rings are made from case-hardened chromium steel (SUJ2) for high surface hardness and wear resistance. Studs are manufactured from alloy steel (SCM420 or SCM440) to provide the necessary toughness and fatigue strength under dynamic loads.
Are there maintenance-free cam follower options available?
Yes. Sealed and pre-lubricated variants are available, which eliminate the need for periodic re-greasing. These are ideal for applications in hard-to-access locations or environments where contamination must be minimized.
What quality standards do these cam followers comply with?
Cam followers in this range are manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001 quality management standards and JIS B1552, the Japanese Industrial Standard for roller followers, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and performance reliability.
