RBC Cam Follower CY128L 4.000" OD x 1.2500" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), Sealed Crowned Outer Ring Cam Follower

RBC Cam Follower CY128L 4.000" OD x 1.2500" ID, Yoke Type (Without Stud), Sealed Crowned Outer Ring 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
• Crowned outer ring to better accommodate applications where misalignment is present
• Internal needle roller configuration for moderate loads
• Considerably heavier cross section outer ring to reduce deformation under load
• 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. 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.
