Product Overview: The CF 8 Cam Follower
The CF 8 Cam Follower is a stud-type track roller bearing, meticulously designed for applications requiring precise linear motion and high load capacity. With a stud diameter of 8mm, a roller outer diameter of 22mm, and an overall length of 32.2mm, this component is engineered to follow cams or tracks, efficiently converting rotary motion into linear movement. As a vital part of our Track Rollers and Cam Followers collections, the CF 8 is built to withstand the demanding conditions of modern industrial machinery.
Our CF 8 cam followers feature a robust stud that serves as an integrated shaft, simplifying installation and design. The thick-walled outer ring is capable of handling heavy radial loads and shock, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of automation and material handling systems. Trust in our expertise as a leading supplier of industrial mechanical parts to provide high-quality components for your most critical applications.
Features of the CF 8 Cam Follower
- Integrated Stud Design: Features a built-in stud (shaft) for direct and easy mounting, reducing assembly time and complexity.
- High Radial Load Capacity: The thick-walled outer ring is designed to absorb high radial loads and minimize distortion under stress.
- Needle Roller Construction: Incorporates needle rollers to provide maximum load-carrying capability within a compact design.
- Durable and Robust: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Sealed for Protection: Often equipped with seals to protect internal components from contaminants and retain lubrication, ensuring consistent performance.
- Crowned Outer Ring: Typically features a crowned running surface to reduce edge stress and accommodate minor misalignments, preventing premature track wear.
Applications of CF 8 Cam Followers
- Automated Production Lines: Essential for guiding components with precision in automated assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Conveyor Systems: Used as track rollers in various types of conveyor and material handling systems for smooth and reliable movement.
