Miniature Thrust Cam Follower Cam Follower 4mm ID, 8mm OD

Introducing the range of RS PRO Cam Followers, ideal for applications that require an effective way of receiving axial loads, at the same time preventing friction and wear on a sliding surface through contact from the cam to the follower. This bearing unit is able to absorb the impact load because of the fact that the radial gap is much smaller compared to other needle roller bearings, while offering optimum performance and smooth motion transfer. In addition to this, the design of the needle roller bearing unit has a thread, so that the cam follower can be quickly and securely attached by the hexagonal nut, onto the machine component, making it adaptable, and quick and easy to install.

A cam follower is a type of bearing that has been designed specifically to be used in a wide range of roller track and mechanical cam applications. They enable the movement of the cam by creating contact with the follower in order to transfer rotary movement into linear movement. Without a cam follower, this motion would not be possible. Cam followers, track followers and cam follower bearings are commonly found in the following industries:

• Agriculture


• Industrial Manufacturing


• Construction


• Materials Handling
