5. Camrol Lasts up to 50X Times Longer
– Significantly greater life than competing
brands, as confirmed in a variety of laboratory
and customer tests
– Superior design promotes longer life and aids
in lowering operating costs
Material & Heat Treatment
– Only utilize bearing quality steel
– Inner (stud) raceway induction heat treated for
a hardened raceway and ductile stem
Lubri-Disc® Seal
– Helps keep lubricant in and contamination out
– Prolongs lubrication intervals
– Reduces internal friction and eliminates metal
to metal contact at outer counter bore
Lubrication Groove
– Provides additional grease capacity
– Extends lubrication intervals

6. Crowned Outside Diameter
– Reduces corner loading
– Keeps load centered as stud deflects
– Helps compensate for misalignment
Hex Hole
– Provides better holding power four mounting
vs standard screwdriver slot
– Available in inch and metric series
– Recommended for eccentric bushing bearings
and blind hole mounting
Eccentric Bushing
– Bushing pressed onto unthreaded
stud diameter
– Allows for adjustment of bearing to
track or cam
– Compensates for improper
positioning of mounting holes

7. Other Camrol® Product Series
Trakrol
– Variation on standard cam follower
– Ball and tapered roller bearing construction
– Effectively sealed
– Cylindrical, flanged, V-groove OD options
– Stud and Yoke Style (inch dimensions only)
– Consider Trakrol for applications involving thrust
loads contamination, low precision demands:

o Maintenance free, lube for life, contamination
Black Oxide Coating
Helps protect external
surfaces from corrosion.
Synthetic Grease
Longer maintenance-
free life
Precision Needle Rollers with Retainer
Allows for larger lubricant reservoir
Lubri-Disc® Thrust
Washer
Increases life by reducing
internal friction, resulting
in lower operating
temperature
8. Heavy Duty
– Cylindrical roller cam follower
– Problem Solver
o Incidental thrust, lube for life, contamination
CRES
