INA Cam Followers

INA produces a range of cam followers, also known as track rollers or stud-type track rollers, which are commonly used in various applications requiring linear motion along a track. Cam followers are designed to follow a cam profile or track surface, providing smooth and precise motion under radial or axial loads. Here are some common types of INA cam followers:

1. Stud Type Track Rollers: These cam followers feature a stud-type design with a threaded or eccentric stud for easy mounting onto a surface. They typically have a thick-walled outer ring and are available with or without an axial guiding flange. INA offers a variety of stud type track rollers with different designs, materials, and configurations to suit various application requirements.

2. Yoke Type Track Rollers: Yoke type track rollers have a yoke-shaped outer ring with a bolt or shaft for mounting. They are designed to support high radial loads and moderate axial loads and are commonly used in applications such as cam mechanisms, conveyor systems, and linear motion systems. INA offers yoke type track rollers with various seal and lubrication options to suit different operating conditions.

3. Crowned Cam Followers: Crowned cam followers feature a crowned outer surface to accommodate misalignment and reduce edge stresses in applications with uneven track surfaces. They are suitable for use on cam tracks, guide rails, and curved paths, providing smooth and reliable motion under radial loads. INA offers crowned cam followers with different crown radii and outer ring designs to meet specific application requirements.

4. Stud Type Track Rollers with Needle Rollers: These cam followers feature a stud-type design with a needle roller and cage assembly as the rolling element. They offer high load-carrying capacity and are suitable for applications with limited radial space and heavy radial loads. INA offers stud type track rollers with needle rollers in various sizes and designs to meet different application needs.

5. Yoke Type Track Rollers with Needle Rollers: Yoke type track rollers with needle rollers combine the features of yoke type track rollers and needle roller bearings, providing high radial load capacity and good shock resistance. They are commonly used in applications such as cam mechanisms, indexing systems, and conveyor systems. INA offers yoke type track rollers with needle rollers in different sizes and configurations to suit various application requirements.

These are some of the main types of INA cam followers available, each designed to provide reliable and efficient motion along a track in a wide range of industrial applications.
