RBC Cam Follower CH72LW 2.250" Outside Diameter, Heavy Duty Stud Type, Hex Head, Sealed, Crowned Outer Ring Cam Follower

RBC Cam Follower CH72LW 2.250" Outside Diameter, Heavy Duty Stud Type, Hex Head, Sealed, Crowned Outer Ring Cam Follower



  • Designed to provide additional stud strength for applications with high static loading or shock loads
  • Crowned outer ring to better accommodate applications where misalignment is present
  • Hex head design for ease of installation and high torque tightening
  • Design allows for relubrication through the hexagonal head of the cam follower, making relubrication in tight spots possible
  • Black oxide finish provides added corrosion resistance

This heavy stud RBC cam follower is part of the RBC HexLube Universal line of cam followers. It can be relubricated through the hex head which can be a great convenience in tight spaces or when stud access is impossible. A cam follower that is properly maintained and lubricated will last longer than a cam follower that is neglected due to the difficulties posed by relubrication. The hex head feature is the preferred mounting method for stud-type cam followers, and with 2 gap seals to keep contaminants out, this RBC HexLube cam follower is the versatile workhorse of the needle bearing cam follower product line. RBC HexLube Universal Cam Followers are designed for applications such as automation and production equipment, bottling and canning, printing machinery, material handling, construction equipment, transfer lines, food processing, and packaging equipment. This cam follower is manufactured with a crowned outer ring. Crowned outer rings are used to minimize outer ring thrusting in applications where the axis of the cam follower is not parallel to the surface of the track or is skewed relative to the direction of travel. Crowned outer rings are a good selection for use with curved or circular tracks. However, in well aligned applications, crowned outer rings can cause accelerated track wear. An added feature of this bearing is a heavy duty stud. Heavy studs are designed to provide additional stud strength for applications with high loading or shock loads where the stud will be subjected to high bending stresses. RBC Bearings has been providing bearing solutions to our customers since 1919. A publicly-traded company (NASDAQ: ROLL), RBC currently has 23 manufacturing facilities worldwide, with 18 located in the USA.

RBC Cam Follower SRF25 1.250" OD x 0.6250" ID, Unsealed Caged Roller Follower

RBC Cam Follower SRF25 1.250" OD x 0.6250" ID, Unsealed Caged Roller Follower



  • Designed with large internal grease storage capacity for applications where relubrication is infrequent
  • Cage guided rollers permit operation at high speeds
  • Unsealed for reduced rolling resistance
  • Considerably heavier cross section outer ring to reduce deformation under load
  • Yoke style design allows for clevis mounting which provides support on both sides of the cam follower and permits use of a high strength pin

This RBC caged roller follower can operate directly on a hardened and ground shaft (HRc 58 min, 16 rms min surface finish) or can be used with matching inner rings. Operating without an inner ring yields the largest possible shaft diameter with greatest strength and rigidity. Axial guidance must be provided by the application. It is recommended to use hardened steel or bronze thrust washers with radial lubricating grooves as needed. This caged SRF roller follower is popular in applications requiring oil bath lubrication, high speed, or in applications greased for life.

RBC Cam Follower Y32L 1.000" OD x 0.3125" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), Sealed Cam Follower

RBC Cam Follower Y32L 1.000" OD x 0.3125" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), Sealed Cam Follower



  • Yoke type design allows for clevis mounting which provides support on both sides of the cam follower and permits use of a high strength pin
  • Internal needle roller configuration for moderate loads
  • Considerably heavier cross section outer ring to reduce deformation under load
  • Double gap seals to keep contaminants out
  • Black oxide finish provides added corrosion resistance

This yoke style RBC needle bearing cam follower is traditional in design, with a heavy outer ring cross section and a full complement of needle rollers. It offers high dynamic and static load carrying capability, and anti-friction performance, in a compact design. Yoke rollers are mounted with a pin in a yoke. Under load the pin is subject to shear and bending stresses. RBC recommends that the yoke arms are located as close to the yoke roller as possible. In case of widely spaced pin supports, the resulting pin deflection may cause yoke roller damage. RBC yoke rollers correspond in many respects to the same size cam follower, except they are mounted on a pin for use in yoke type applications for greater shock resistance. Yoke rollers should be clamped axially or mounted within closely fitting side rails to prevent displacement of the end plates. For applications with heavy loads, it is recommended to heat treat the pin and use a press fit for the inner ring. A soft pin and light press or push fit are sufficient for lightly loaded applications. When press fitting a yoke roller, pressure should be applied centrally and uniformly against the end plate, never against the outer ring. The pin should have a suitable lead-in chamfer or radius to prevent scoring and to hold the mounting force to a minimum. RBC Bearings has been providing bearing solutions to our customers since 1919.

RBC Cam Follower CRBY15/8 1.625" OD x 0.4375" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), RBC Roller Cylindrical Roller Design, Crowned Outer Ring Cam Follower

RBC Cam Follower CRBY15/8 1.625" OD x 0.4375" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), RBC Roller Cylindrical Roller Design, Crowned Outer Ring Cam Follower



  • Two rows of large diameter, end guided rollers yield maximum capacity and increased fatigue life
  • Crowned outer ring to better accommodate applications where misalignment is present
  • Lubed for life design saves time, maintenance costs, and lubrication costs
  • Contacting lip seals provide positive exclusion of contaminants, along with excellent lubricant retention
  • Center thrust ring design tolerates moderate axial loading and creates large internal grease storage area

The RBC Roller yoke style cam follower was developed for applications requiring a high degree of reliability and maintainability. The space between the two paths of rollers which is created by the center thrust ring provides a large grease storage cavity. This larger than normal ability to store lubricant, in combination with excellent grease retention of the contacting lip seals, makes the RBC Roller virtually maintenance-free. Under most operating conditions relubrication is not necessary. The center thrust ring in the RBC Roller also imparts end guidance to the two paths of rollers. End-guided cylindrical rollers allow the RBC Roller to run at lower operating temperatures and higher speeds. Thrust loading in the RBC Roller is accommodated through contact between outer ring flanges and roller ends, and contact between roller ends and the center thrust ring. This provides the RBC Roller with superior thrust capability. As a result, the RBC Roller is tolerant of tracking misalignment and axial loads that would overwhelm other designs. Contacting lip seals are a standard feature of the RBC Roller. These seals ride on smooth ground surfaces on the inner ring or stud. This sealing system provides positive exclusion of solid and liquid contaminants, and excellent lubricant retention. The RBC Roller is pre-lubricated at the factory with a high quality mineral oil, NLGI grade 2 grease. This cam follower is manufactured with a crowned outer ring. Crowned outer rings are used to minimize outer ring thrusting in applications where the axis of the cam follower is not parallel to the surface of the track or is skewed relative to the direction of travel. However, in well aligned applications, crowned outer rings can cause accelerated track wear. RBC Bearings has been providing bearing solutions to our customers since 1919.
