RS PRO Yoke Cam Follower Cam Follower 8mm ID, 8mm OD

RS PRO Cam Follower, Yoke

Introducing the range of RS PRO Cam Followers, ideal for applications that require an effective way of transferring rotary movement into linear movement through contact from the cam to the follower. This bearing unit is able to accommodate shock loads and reduce distortion and bending stresses, while offering optimum performance and smooth motion transfer. In addition to this, the design of the roller bearing unit has a thread, so that the cam follower can be quickly and securely attached by the hexagonal nut, onto the machine component, making it adaptable, and quick and easy to install.

Features and Benefits:

• The high-quality RS PRO Cam Follower is ideal for applications that need an effective method of transferring rotary motion into linear motion through contact from the cam to the follower, while carrying much heavier loads than standard type cam followers


• The design of the crowned cam follower ensures that the load is evenly distributed even when there is slight misalignment between the follower and the contact surface, as well as being able to accommodate shock loads, without impacting the overall performance


• Each housing comes with thread and hexagonal nut, ensuring that the cam follower can quickly and easily be installed


• This design also offers quicker and easier installation because only one unit needs to be installed, rather than assembling each part individually

Applications:

A cam follower is a type of bearing that has been designed specifically to be used in a wide range of roller track and mechanical cam applications. They enable the movement of the cam by creating contact with the follower in order to transfer rotary movement into linear movement. Without a cam follower, this motion would not be possible. Cam followers, track followers and cam follower bearings are commonly found in the following industries:

• Agriculture


• Industrial Manufacturing


• Construction


• Materials Handling
