Cam followers (track rollers), also referred to as cam roller bearings, are rolling-element bearings designed to guide and support moving loads by maintaining continuous contact with a cam or track surface that pushes or guides the follower. Stud-mounted and yoke-style configurations simplify installation and alignment. Stud-type cam followers include an integrated threaded stud that acts as the axle the roller rotates on, while also serving as the mounting feature that threads directly into a tapped hole or bracket, combining multiple parts into a single component. In contrast, yoke-type cam followers consist of the roller wheel only and require a separate shaft or pin to act as the axle, mounted within a yoke or housing. Stud-type assemblies are available with either concentric or eccentric studs, where concentric designs are used when mounting holes can be machined to tight tolerances (as close as +0.0000″ / −0.0005″) and eccentric cam followers feature an offset stud that allows the roller position to be adjusted during installation for proper alignment and load contact. Available in steel, chrome-plated, and stainless steel variants, cam followers are easy to mount and well suited for a wide range of applications, with sealed designs that retain lubrication and protect against contamination. A wide range of sizes is available to meet different load and mounting requirements. These components provide smooth rolling contact and reliable load support in applications with moderate loads and shock.
Blog Post: What is a Cam Follower?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cam follower?
A cam follower, also called a track roller, is a rolling-element bearing designed to guide and support motion by maintaining continuous contact with a cam or track surface. A cam is a shaped or moving surface that pushes or guides the follower, allowing it to roll smoothly while carrying load with low friction.
What is a cam?
A cam is a rotating or sliding mechanical component with a shaped profile that converts motion into controlled linear or oscillating movement of a follower. As the cam moves, its surface pushes against a cam follower to produce a specific motion pattern.
What is the difference between a cam follower and a track roller?
The terms cam follower and track roller are often used interchangeably. Cam follower typically refers to stud-type designs with an integrated mounting stud, while track roller can refer more broadly to both stud-type and yoke-type configurations.
What is the difference between stud-type and yoke-type cam followers?
Stud-type cam followers include an integrated stud that acts as the axle and mounting feature, allowing them to be threaded directly into a hole or bracket. Yoke-type cam followers do not include a stud and require a separate shaft or pin for mounting within a housing or yoke.
What is an eccentric cam follower?
An eccentric cam follower has an offset stud that allows the position of the roller to be adjusted during installation, making it useful for fine-tuning alignment and ensuring proper contact with a track or cam.
When should eccentric cam followers be used?
Eccentric cam followers are used when precise alignment cannot be achieved through machining alone, allowing installers to adjust the roller position to compensate for tolerance variations.
What are cam followers used for?
Cam followers are used in applications that require guided motion along a track or cam, such as material handling systems, conveyors, automation equipment, and indexing mechanisms.
Do cam followers require lubrication?
Most cam followers are pre-lubricated and may include seals to retain lubrication and protect against contamination, but periodic relubrication may be required depending on the application and operating conditions.
What materials are cam followers made from?
Cam followers are commonly made from hardened steel, with options such as chrome-plated or stainless steel available for corrosion resistance and harsh environments.
How are cam followers mounted?
Stud-type cam followers are mounted by threading the stud into a tapped hole or bracket, while yoke-type cam followers are mounted on a separate shaft or pin within a housing or support structure.
What factors should be considered when selecting a cam follower?
Key factors include the material (steel, stainless steel or chrome-plated), load capacity, speed, mounting method, alignment requirements, environmental conditions, and whether a stud-type or yoke-type configuration is more suitable for the application.
