Improve Your Cam Follower’s Life and Keep Maintenance Costs Down


When reliability and long-term performance are essential for your cam follower, proper lubrication and sealing are critical factors. In tough industrial environments, contaminants like dust and debris can reduce the lifespan of cam followers, while continuous heavy use may wear down the bearing’s rolling contact surfaces.


Maintaining cam followers can be challenging. Depending on the application, maintenance crews may spend significant time accessing hard-to-reach areas for re-lubrication or even removing the cam follower from machinery entirely. This process can take hours, followed by the time needed for reassembly. The result: increased equipment downtime and high labor costs. Cam followers with self-lubricating technology provide a solution, minimizing these maintenance concerns and extending operational lifetimes.


IKO offers a range of self-lubricating cam followers, featuring two options with IKO’s proprietary C-Lube technology. One integrates C-Lube directly into the cam follower, while the other uses an external unit that continuously lubricates the bearing's outer surface as it interacts with the mating track. Both options significantly reduce maintenance needs.
