Product Overview: The CR 8 Stud-Type Cam Follower
The CR 8 is a high-performance stud-type Cam Follower, an essential component in our Track Rollers category. Engineered with a stud diameter of 8mm, an outer roller diameter of 22mm, and a roller width of 12mm, this bearing is designed to convert rotary motion into precise linear motion. It features a robust stud for simple mounting and a thick-walled outer ring that withstands high radial loads and reduces distortion and bending stresses. Its internal design incorporates a full complement of needle rollers, maximizing load-carrying capacity within a compact space.
Ideal for a variety of automation and material handling applications, the CR 8 ensures smooth and reliable operation in cam mechanisms, conveyor systems, and linear guide systems. As a trusted supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we offer components manufactured to exacting standards to guarantee durability and performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features of the CR 8 Cam Follower
- Stud-Type Design: Allows for easy and direct mounting onto machine components using a simple nut, simplifying assembly.
- High Load Capacity: A full complement of needle rollers provides excellent radial load-carrying capability.
- Heavy-Duty Outer Ring: Specially designed to handle the high shock and rolling loads common in track and cam applications.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for exceptional hardness and long service life.
- Crowned Outer Surface: The outer ring running surface is crowned to help distribute load evenly and reduce edge stress, especially when tracking is misaligned.
- Integrated Sealing: Often equipped with seals to protect internal components from contaminants and retain lubricant, reducing maintenance needs.
