Roller Stud Mounted Cam Follower
Types & Configurations
1. Stud-Type Cam Followers (e.g., CF Series)
· One-piece stud design with threaded or unthreaded shanks.
· Standard for linear motion systems.
2. Yoke-Type Roller Followers (e.g., CRY Series)
· Designed with yoke lugs for pivot mounting.
· Used in linkage mechanisms.
3. Eccentric Stud Types (e.g., CF-E Series)
· Eccentric stud allows radial adjustment (±0.5–2 mm) for precise alignment.
4. Crowned vs. Flat Outer Rings
· Crowned rings compensate for misalignment; flat rings maximize contact area.
Applications
· Cam-Driven Systems: Packaging machines, printing presses.
· Linear Guides: Conveyor systems, automated assembly lines.
· Heavy Machinery: Construction equipment, agricultural rollers.
· Robotics: Precision motion control arms.
Technical Specifications
· Load Ratings: 20–500% higher than standard roller bearings of similar size.
· Speed Limits: Typically ≤ 500 rpm due to sliding contact risks.
· Materials:
Outer Rings: Case-hardened chromium steel (SUJ2).
Studs: Alloy steel (SCM420/SCM440).
Standards: ISO 9001, JIS B1552.
Advantages
· Reduced Friction: Replace sliding contact with rolling motion.
· Simplified Design: Integrate bearing and roller functions into one unit.
· Maintenance-Free Options: Sealed and pre-lubricated variants available."
