Miniature Type Cam Follower Series

IKO Machined Type Needle Roller Bearings are bearings with a low cross sectional height and large load ratings. The outer ring has stable, high rigidity and can be used even for light alloy housings. These bearings are available in metric series and inch series, both of which include a caged type and full complement type. They are suitable for a wide range of conditions including heavy load with either highspeed or lowspeed rotation. In addition, bearings are available with or without an inner ring. The type without an inner ring uses a shaft as the raceway surface, making the design compact.

IKO Shell Type Needle Roller Bearings are lightweight bearings with large load ratings. They employ a shell type outer ring made from a thin specialsteel plate which is accurately drawn, carburized and quenched, thus providing the lowest sectional height among the Needle Roller Bearings. There are two types of bearings available in this series; the caged type and the full complement type. The appropriate type can be selected according to the operating conditions. The caged type has a structure in which the needle rollers are accurately guided by the cage and thrust rings. It is useful for applications at highspeed rotation. The full complement type needle roller bearing, on the other hand, is suitable for heavyload applications at lowspeed rotation. Since these bearings are pressfitted into the housing, no axial positioning fixtures are required. They are ideal for use in massproduced articles that require economy, and have a wide variety of applications.

IKO Roller Followers are bearings with needle rollers in the thick outer ring that are designed for outer ring rotation. There are separable and nonseparable models, double row cylindrical, and other models available. Roller Followers are widely used as follower bearings for various cam mechanisms and as guide rollers for linear motion in conveying equipment.

IKO Cam Followers are bearings with a stud that incorporates needle rollers in a thick walled outer ring. These bearings are designed for outer ring rotation and provide superior rotational performance, a low coefficient of friction and high load capacity. In order to effectively increase the loading zone, this bearing is designed to have a smaller radial clearance than general needle roller bearings, so the shock load is lessened and stable long life can be obtained. Since the studs already have threads or steps, they are easy to mount. Cam followers are follower bearings for cam mechanisms and linear motion and have high rigidity and high accuracy. They are used mostly for machine tools, industrial robots, electronic devices, and OA equipment. Stainless steel cam followers have superior corrosion resistance and are suitable for use in cleanrooms and environments where oil cannot be used or where water might splash.
