Product Overview: The CF 24 Cam Follower
The CF 24 Cam Follower is a specialized Track Roller bearing featuring an integrated stud for direct mounting. With a stud diameter of 12mm, a roller outer diameter of 24mm, and a roller width of 14mm, this component is engineered to follow cams or tracks in a wide variety of mechanical systems. It combines a needle roller bearing with a thick-walled outer ring and a solid stud, creating a self-contained unit that simplifies design and installation while providing high radial load capacity. This design is ideal for converting rotary motion into precise linear motion.
As a key component in our Cam Followers collection, the CF 24 is built to withstand the shock loads and high speeds common in automated machinery. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance and a long operational life. Whether for material handling, automation, or machine tools, the CF 24 provides a dependable solution for linear motion guidance.
