Cam Followers and Roller Followers, essential components for machine in factory automation. These precision bearings, operating on a rolling contact mechanism, are specifically designed to track the contours of cams or tracks, ensuring smooth and reliable motion. Our product range includes various types, such as stud type, yoke type, and cam followers with eccentric studs, each tailored to different mounting requirements and precise positioning needs. Crafted from durable materials, our Cam Followers and Roller Followers exhibit excellent performance even in harsh industrial environments while being easy to install and maintain, saving valuable time during assembly. Their robust construction ensures exceptional durability and long service life, reducing downtime and enhancing overall productivity in your automation projects. With a high load-carrying capacity, they efficiently support heavy machinery, minimizing wear and stress on individual points, resulting in reliable and smooth motion control. Our followers find versatile applications in conveyor systems, robotics, CNC machines, packaging lines, and textile machinery, enabling precise positioning and controlled movements, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of your automated systems.
Compact and rigid shaft bearing with a needle bearing in the cam follower. Ideal for use as a linear motion guide roller in the cam mechanism of automatic and dedicated machines. [Features] ・ CF-AB model comes with hex sockets at both ends of the stud and grease fitting for lubrication in the back. Can be installed and refilled from both directions.
[Features] · Normal cam follower with stud head and thread used for tap processing of pipes. · This cam follower is ideal for locations requiring centralized lubrication piping.
It is compact and rigid shaft bearing with a needle bearing in the cam follower. Ideal for use as a linear motion guide roller in the cam mechanism of automatic and specialty machines · [Type and features] · CFH-AB A cam follower where precision adjustment of the position is easily performed by turning the stud, as the mounting shaft and head sections of the stud are eccentric by 0.25 mm to 1.0 mm. This allows significant reductions in processing and assembly man-hours by avoiding alignment with the cam groove and precise machining of the mounting hole position. · CFH-AB model…… grease nipple / hex socket head Corresponds to 12 - 30 [mm] stud
[Features] · A unit that provides a set of full rolling elements or a needle roller with machined studs, thrust washer, outer rings and retainer. · The outer ring is thick and crowning process is done on the outer surface. · Can support large radial loads. · Lubricated by using a DIN51 825-KP2N-25 based complex lithium soap grease. · Lubricant can be supplied through the shaft. · Lip, gap and labyrinth seals block the contaminants and moisture. · Easy to install. · The is a thread at the edge of the stud. · There is a slot or a hexagon-shaped socket on the head of the stud.
SUJ2 is used for the material of each part. Suitable for static and heavy loads at medium and low speeds for use in numerous automatic machines, conveying guide rollers, and cam mechanism rollers.

Question: What are the different types of Roller Followers?
Answer: There are mainly three types of Roller Followers:
1. Stud Type Roller Followers: These have a stud attached to the outer ring, making them easy to mount.
2. Yoke Type Roller Followers: These have a yoke on the outer ring, providing more stability and load capacity.
3. Cam Followers with Eccentric Stud: These have an eccentric stud, allowing for easy adjustment of the position.
Question: What industries commonly use Roller Followers?
Answer: Roller followers are widely used in industries where motion control and precise positioning are essential. Some common industries include:
Factory Automation and Robotics: Roller followers play a vital role in automating processes, controlling robotic movements, and maintaining accuracy in various assembly and handling tasks.
Material Handling and Conveyors: Roller followers are used in conveyor systems to guide and control the movement of materials efficiently.
Packaging and Printing: Roller followers are utilized in packaging machines and printing equipment to ensure smooth and precise movements during the packaging and printing processes.
Semiconductor Manufacturing: The semiconductor industry relies on roller followers for precise movement and positioning in manufacturing equipment.
Automotive Assembly Lines: Roller followers are employed in automotive manufacturing for tasks such as part handling and robot positioning.
Question: How do I choose the right cam follower for my application?
Answer: To choose the right cam follower, consider these factors:
Load Capacity: Determine the maximum load your application requires.
Type of Load: Check if it's primarily radial, axial, or a combination of both.
Cam Follower Type: Decide between stud type or yoke type based on your mounting needs.
Track Conditions: Consider the surface conditions where the cam follower will operate.
Speed and Temperature: Ensure the cam follower can handle the operating speed and temperature range.
Question: In what machines are cam follower used?
Answer: Cam followers are utilized in a wide range of machines and equipment, including:
Conveyor Systems: Cam followers guide and support the movement of conveyor belts.
CNC Machines: They play a role in precise tool positioning and movement control in computer numerical control (CNC) machines.
Industrial Robots and AGVs: Cam followers enable accurate motion control in robotic arms and automated guided vehicles.
Printing and Packaging Machines: Cam followers ensure smooth and precise motion during printing and packaging processes.
Textile Machinery: Cam followers are used in textile machines for controlling yarn tension and guiding various components.
Question: How do Roller Followers work?
Answer: Roller followers work by following the profile of a specially designed cam. The cam's shape dictates the motion of the roller follower. As the cam rotates, it imparts motion to the roller follower, causing its rollers to move smoothly along the cam's surface.
The motion can be either linear or rotary, depending on the cam's profile. Roller followers are designed to reduce friction and ensure smooth movement, making them ideal for applications that require precise positioning and can handle high loads effectively. Proper lubrication is essential to minimize wear and friction, ensuring reliable operation and extending the roller follower's lifespan. Overall, roller followers play a crucial role in providing motion control in various factory automation applications.
