About Cam Followers

Cam followers are specialized bearings that are supported from a single point on their circumference. On the point of contact, singular roller forces create a bending of the outer ring. This bending creates an outer ring deformation with reversed bending stresses in dynamic applications, a decreased load zone, and a higher maximum roller load. In attempts to minimize deformation, cam followers need to include a heavier cross-section than a standard bearing. This requirement conflicts with the need for maximum dynamic bearing capacity with calls for the largest roller diameter possible.
