Cam Follower Needle Roller Bearings

Cam follower needle roller bearings are a specialized type of roller or needle bearing designed to follow cam lobes. They feature needle rollers and a stud, enclosed in a thick, crowned outer ring that provides a rigid support, allowing them to be used in light alloy housings. These bearings are available in both inch and metric sizes, with bore sizes ranging from 3mm up to around 139.7mm (5.5 inches). They can be found in caged and solid (uncaged) designs, with the caged versions offering easier assembly and disassembly. The key advantages of cam follower needle roller bearings include their high load capacity, high precision, and compact footprint, making them suitable for applications where space is limited, such as packaging equipment, conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, and construction equipment. The crowned outer ring and stud design of these bearings enables them to follow cam lobes effectively while providing a secure mounting solution.
