When it comes to industrial components that can handle heavy loads and tough conditions, cam followers are the go-to choice for many industries. At YLH Bearing, we’re excited to introduce our latest innovation—the RKUR65 cam follower. This special design incorporates features that make it a standout in the world of linear motion systems. Let’s dive into what makes this cam follower unique and why stainless steel bearings are crucial for demanding applications.
What Is a Cam Follower?
Cam followers are a type of bearing designed to follow a cam profile and are widely used in industries like automation, material handling, and even robotics. They are built to handle high radial loads and provide smooth, linear motion in a variety of systems. From conveyor belts to complex machinery, cam followers play a vital role in keeping everything running smoothly.
What Makes the RKUR65 Cam Follower Special?
Unlike most cam followers that use needle or cylindrical rollers, the RKUR65 uses standard ball bearings inside, offering superior performance and reliability. Common cam follower types like KR, UKR, or inch-sized models like CF, CFH, CR, and CRH rely on different roller types, but the RKUR65’s use of ball bearings enhances its load-carrying ability and operational lifespan.
Another standout feature is the V-shaped groove on the outer ring. This groove is designed to facilitate precise and reliable linear motion, ensuring the smooth operation of machinery even in demanding conditions. It’s especially useful in applications requiring high precision and stability.
Additionally, the RKUR65 is equipped with special washers and slots that improve its strength and durability. The hexagonal socket on the head of the bearing simplifies installation, making it easy to adjust in compact or hard-to-reach areas—a valuable feature for maintenance teams.
Why Stainless Steel Matters
The RKUR65 is made from stainless steel, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and environmental factors. Stainless steel cam followers are particularly important for industries that operate in harsh conditions, such as:
- Food processing: Where equipment must withstand frequent cleaning and exposure to water or chemicals.
- Medical equipment: Where sterilization and hygiene are crucial.
- Outdoor applications: Where components are exposed to moisture, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments.
Stainless steel bearings, like the ones used in our RKUR65, provide excellent long-term performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering maintenance costs.
