Centric cam followers
Properties:
- Stable retaining bolt with needle-bearing outer ring
- The needle bearing is sealed against dirt and can be re-lubricated through the boreholes in the bolt
- Suitable for high radial loads
- For combined usage with support rails (flat rails)
- For straight, oval, circular and S-shaped tracks
Advantages and applications
- The spherical outer ring creates a point load on the rail so there is low rolling resistance and minimum wear
- Cam followers on support rails can be combined, as the floating bearing side, with guide rollers on guide rails in a parallel rail system
