A Urethane Eccentric Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and a urethane outer raceway that is offset (eccentric) with the stud. Urethane is a low-friction, wear-resistant material that is well-suited for use in applications where high wear resistance and low friction are important factors. The eccentric stud provides the ability to compensate for misalignment or shaft deflection, making it suitable for use in applications with these types of issues. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. Urethane is also known for its high resistance to chemical and environmental degradation, making this type of cam follower suitable for use in harsh environments.
A Plain Yoke Style Cam Follower is a type of roller bearing that has a cylindrical stud as the inner raceway and a yoke-shaped outer raceway that provides a flat surface for attaching to an external mechanism. The yoke shape provides a simple and reliable solution for attaching the cam follower to a mating component, such as a machine frame, arm, or link. The plain (non-flanged) outer surface provides minimal axial height, making it suitable for applications with tight installation constraints. This style of cam follower is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including material handling equipment, conveyors, packaging machinery, and automation equipment.
