Product Overview: The CF 10 Cam Follower Bearing
The CF 10 Cam Follower is a stud-type track roller bearing designed for direct mounting onto machine components. With a stud diameter of 10mm, an outer diameter of 26mm, and a roller width of 12mm, this compact bearing is engineered to follow a cam or track, converting rotary motion into precise linear motion. As a crucial component in our Cam Followers collection, the CF 10 features a robust design with a thick-walled outer ring to withstand heavy radial loads and shock that are common in track and cam drive applications.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards, the CF 10 incorporates needle rollers to provide high load-carrying capacity within a small footprint. Its stud design simplifies installation, eliminating the need for a separate shaft or bolt. This makes it an efficient and reliable choice for a wide range of industrial automation and material handling systems.
