Crowned cam follower for heavy loads
This Smith Bearing cam follower uses a crowned roller profile to distribute heavy radial loads across the contact surface. The needle-roller bearing is double sealed with contact seals to retain lubrication and exclude contaminants. A concentric stud with a 1 1/4 in.-12 thread provides secure mounting in machinery applications.
Hex-socket drive limits adjustment access
The hex socket drive is located on the stud end, so installation and removal require a hex key that fits the available clearance. The crowned roller face reduces edge stress but does not accommodate axial thrust loads. All dimensions follow the inch system, so metric tooling will not match the stud thread or hex size.
Verify stud thread and roller envelope before
Confirm that the 1 1/4 in.-12 stud thread matches the tapped hole in your equipment. Ensure the 2 1/2 in. roller diameter and 1 1/2 in. roller width fit within the track or cam groove. Check that the 3 25/32 in. overall length clears adjacent components when the follower is fully seated.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the crowned or flat-face version for my track?
The crowned roller guides itself on flat tracks, reducing edge loading and extending bearing life.
What does the 2 1/2 in roller diameter mean for load capacity?
A 2 1/2 in roller spreads load over a larger contact area, raising dynamic capacity for heavy radial loads.
How does the 1 1/4-12 stud thread limit mounting options?
The 1 1/4-12 thread requires a matching tapped hole or nut; it cannot be used with smaller stud patterns.
