What Are Cam Followers?
Cam followers are specialized roller bearings designed to follow cam lobes and tracks, converting rotary motion into linear motion. They are built to withstand heavy radial loads, shock loads, and misalignment, making them essential in automated machinery and conveyor systems.

Stud Type Cam Followers: Feature an integrated stud for easy mounting and replacement, commonly used in conveyor and material handling equipment.
Yoke Type Cam Followers: Consist of a roller bearing inside a yoke frame with a separate shaft, allowing higher load capacity and flexibility.
Needle Roller Cam Followers: Compact design with needle rollers, suitable for applications with limited radial space.
Heavy-Duty Cam Followers: Designed for extreme loads and harsh environments, featuring robust construction and seals.
