Product Details
The IKO separable roller follower is composed of an inner ring, needle roller cage, side plates, and a thick-walled outer ring designed to withstand heavy rolling or shock loads. These components can be easily separated for convenient handling, and the roller followers are available with either crowned or cylindrical outer rings. The crowned outer ring is beneficial in relieving edge load caused by mounting errors, while the cylindrical outer ring is suited for applications with large loads or low track surface hardness due to its larger contact area with the mating track surface. Double sealed followers, identified by the suffix ZZUU & ZZUUR, come pre-packed with grease, whereas double shielded followers with the suffix ZZ & ZZR require adequate lubrication to be added, as they do not contain grease. Proper lubrication is essential between the roller followers and the steel track on which the cam followers operate to prevent seizure and minimize friction.
