Ample Bearings

IKO designs and manufactures a broad selection of cam followers to meet the diverse needs of applications including machine tools, industrial robots, electronic parts production and office automation equipment. A cam follower is a bearing that incorporates needle style rollers between a stud and a thick outer ring.

• Small coefficient of friction.
• Excellent rotational performance designed for outer ring revolution.
• High load capacity by design—radial gap is smaller than within the general needle roller bearings, alleviating impact load and increasing lifetime.
• Easy attachment with either hexagon sockets or screw driver slots.
• Multiple shapes and styles are available to fit a variety of applications. Followers are available with a cage or full complement design, shield or sealed versions, and either spherical or cylindrical outer rings.
• Sizes, materials and design options abound; ranging from miniature and standard models to eccentric styles and those with thrust disks. Stainless steel versions resist corrosion and are suitable for clean room applications.
