NTN Domestic Cam Follower With Shaft, Inner Dia 18 mm, Outer Dia 40 mm, KRX18X40 Series

A cam follower with a shaft is a mechanical component designed to track the motion of a cam surface accurately. The cam follower, also known as a track follower, is mounted on a shaft, allowing it to move along the profile of the cam. It typically consists of a roller or needle bearing mounted on a stud or shaft.

The cam follower's primary function is to maintain contact with the cam profile while transmitting motion or force to another part of the mechanism. This ensures smooth and precise motion transfer in various applications, including automotive engines, industrial machinery, and automation systems.

The shaft provides stability and support to the cam follower, allowing it to withstand radial and axial loads imposed by the cam's motion. It also facilitates easy installation and alignment within the system.

Cam followers with shafts find applications in numerous industries, including manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and robotics. They are chosen for their reliability, high load capacity, and ability to operate in harsh environments.

Overall, the combination of a cam follower and shaft provides an efficient solution for converting rotary motion into linear motion while maintaining precise tracking along the cam profile.
