Name: Soild Collar Cam Follower bearing KR16

Descriptions of solid collar cam follower bearing

A cam follower roller bearing (also called “track follower”) is a specialty roller bearing designed to follow tracks or cams and in a wide range of linear motion systems. Cam followers are often used on conveyors, process transfer lines, such as those used int industries such as food and beverage, plastics, glass and among others. AST cam followers are also popular for defense and aircraft applications, where maintainability and system reliability are important design considerations.  To smoothly and evenly distribute the loads, cam followers usually are designed with a full complement of rolling elements. However, there is more than one type of configuration for cam followers, but the most distinctive characteristic is how the cam follower is mounted to its counterpart.

A Stud Type Cam Follower is usually has a standard sized stud, but heavier studs are available to handle increased static loads. This is as opposed to “Yoke type” cam follower which has a hole through the middle and is usually used in applications where minimal deflection is necessary.

56 different cam follower roller bearings in its online catalog.  They come in the following series with and without seals, also in inch and metric dimensions:

• CF Series
• KR Series
• KRV Series
• NUKR Series
• PWKR Series

 Cam follower bearing is composed of a stud used as the tray of a group of rollers and a thick wall outer ring .The shoulder of the stud and the surface retaining ring on the stud form the guiding faces on the two sides of the outer ring.When the curve rollers are running on the plain tray or cam wheel,the inner stress on the rollers will increase due to the deformation of the outer ring.Therefore the rated load should be selected as curve roller column in this operational case.

In KR,KR...PP curve rollers,the rolling needles are guided by the retainer while the outer ring is guided by the retaining ring shaft on the stud.These rollers are suitable for heave load and middle speed revolution.The lubricating can last a long period due to the bigger grease storage space inside the bearing.KR...PP curve roller is of contacting sealing structure.

KRV,KRV...PP curve rollers have the same structures as KR,KR...PP type but they are complement filled with needle bearings.They can be used to bear heavier load and run with lower speed.They should be lubricated very often.
