Product Overview: The JC 8002 Cam Follower
The JC 8002 is a specialized stud-type track roller bearing, commonly known as a cam follower, designed for applications requiring precise linear motion and guidance. This component is engineered with an integral stud that serves as a mounting shaft, simplifying installation and providing a compact solution for various cam-driven mechanisms and track systems. Its robust construction, featuring a thick-walled outer ring, allows it to withstand heavy radial loads and shock that are common in industrial automation.
As a key part of our Track Rollers and Cam Followers collections, the JC 8002 is built to high industry standards, ensuring reliable performance and a long operational life. The internal design, typically incorporating needle rollers, maximizes load-carrying capacity within a small footprint. This makes it an ideal choice for machinery where space is limited but high performance is essential. Explore our range to find the perfect guidance solution for your equipment.
Key Features of the JC 8002
- Stud-Type Design: Features an integrated stud for easy and direct mounting onto machine components via a hexagonal nut.
- Heavy-Duty Outer Ring: A thick-walled outer ring is designed to handle high radial and shock loads without deforming.
- High Load Capacity: Typically utilizes a full complement of needle rollers to provide maximum radial load capacity.
- Crowned Outer Surface: The outer ring is often crowned to reduce edge stresses and accommodate minor misalignments, extending track life.
- Sealed for Durability: Equipped with seals to retain lubricant and protect the internal components from contaminants like dust and moisture.
- Compact and Efficient: Combines the functions of a bearing and a shaft into a single unit, saving space and simplifying machine design.
