IKO Cam Followers are bearings with a stud incorporating needle rollers in a thick walled outer ring. These IKO bearings are designed for outer ring rotation, and have superior rotational performance with a small coefficient of friction and high load capacity.
As studs already have threads or steps, they are easy to mount.
IKO Cam Followers are follower bearings for cam mechanisms and linear motions and have high rigidity and high accuracy. So, IKO cam followers are used widely for machine tools, industrial robots, electronic devices, and OA equipment.
Stainless steel made IKO Cam Followers are superior in corrosion resistance and suitable for applications in environments where oil cannot be used or water splashed, and in clean rooms.
Structure of IKO cam followers
Note(1) Thermosetting solid-type lubricant C-Lube fills inner space of the bearing.
IKO Standard Type Cam Followers
IKO Standard Type Cam Followers are the basic type bearings in IKO Cam Follower series. Standard Type Cam Followers CF…B with stud diameters ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm are available, and are suitable for a wide range of applications.
IKO Standard Type Cam Followers CFKR have sockets with hexagon holes on both stud ends, which allow mounting with a hexagon wrench from either side.
IKO Eccentric Type Cam Followers
IKO eccentric stud can be rotated to create a uniform line, enabling easy adjustment for even load distribution across the outer ring outer surface.
Eccentricity is 0.4 (CFE) 〜1.5 mm.
IKO Thrust Disk Type Cam Followers
IKO thrust disk seal, made of special synthetic resin with excellent abrasion and heat resistance, is incorporated in the sliding contact area between the shoulders of the outer ring and the stud head and side plate. This prevents friction and abrasion inside the bearing due to axial loads caused by mounting errors.
IKO C-Lube Cam Followers
These IKO bearings are lubricated with a newly developed thermosetting solid-type lubricant which fills the inner space of the bearing. This lubricant provides long-term maintenance free.
IKO Miniature Type Cam Followers
IKO Miniature Type Cam Followers are compactly designed bearings, incorporating very thin needle rollers in an outer ring with a small outside diameter. They are used in electronic devices, OA equipment, small index devices, etc.
IKO Cylindrical Roller Cam Followers
IKO Cylindrical Roller Cam Followers are full complement type bearings incorporating double rows of full complement cylindrical rollers in the outer ring, and can withstand large radial loads.
Additionally, the outer ring is guided by the outer ring shoulder and the end face of cylindrical rollers to the axial direction.
IKO Inch series Cam Followers
Two types, CR and CRH, are available in the Inch series Cam Followers. Black oxide film treatment is made on CRH models.
CR with ThrustDisk Seals prevents the ingress of foreign substances as well as friction and abrasion on the interior of the bearing caused by axial load generated due to mounting errors.
Lubrication method of Hex Head Cam Followers
Standard Type, Eccentric Type, Solid Eccentric Stud Type, Thrust Disk Type, Easy Mounting Type, Cylindrical Roller Type
Note (1) CFKR and CFKRE can be lubricated from both head part and thread side. Also, a grease nipple is built into the stud head.
Internal structures and Shapes
IKO Cam Follower series has various types, such as high carbon steel type, stainless steel type, caged type, full complement type, shield type, sealed type, type with crowned outer ring, type with cylindrical outer ring, etc.
Type of material
In addition to high carbon steel products, IKO stainless steel products are also available. Stainless steel products are suited for applications where oil cannot be used or where water splashes, and in cleanrooms.
