Product Overview: The CF 30 Cam Follower Bearing
The CF 30 is a high-performance, stud-type track roller bearing, commonly known as a Cam Follower. It features a roller outer diameter of 30 mm, a stud diameter of 12 mm, and a roller width of 14 mm. This integrated design, combining a needle roller bearing with a sturdy stud, simplifies mounting and makes it an ideal solution for a wide range of linear motion and cam-driven applications. The thick-walled outer ring is specifically engineered to withstand heavy radial loads and the shock loads often encountered in industrial machinery.
As a key component in our Track Rollers category, the CF 30 ensures precise and reliable motion control. Its robust construction provides excellent durability and a long service life, making it a dependable choice for automation, material handling, and other demanding operational environments. The hexagonal socket on the stud head allows for easy and secure installation with a standard hex wrench.
Key Features of the CF 30
- Stud-Type Design: Integrates the bearing and stud into a single unit for straightforward mounting and a compact assembly.
- High Load Capacity: Features a full complement of needle rollers, maximizing contact points to handle high radial loads.
- Heavy-Duty Outer Ring: A thick cross-section outer ring is designed to absorb shock and reduce distortion under load.
- Crowned Roller Profile: The outer ring running surface is slightly crowned to reduce edge stresses, accommodate minor misalignments, and extend bearing life.
- Sealed Construction: Typically supplied with seals to retain lubricant and protect internal components from contaminants, reducing maintenance needs.
- Easy Installation: Equipped with a hexagonal socket on the stud head for simple and secure tightening.
