AI-Powered Image SearchCam Follower
The cam follower is a type of bearing designed to track a cam's profile, converting the cam's rotary motion into linear motion along the cam's surface. It is a specialised type of roller or needle bearing used in various mechanical systems to convert rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. They are widely used in applications requiring accurate and smooth motion along a predefined path.
Features and benefits:
- High radial load-carrying capacity
- Accommodate axial loads due to skew or tilting
- Long service life
- Durability and versatility
