Accurate Bushing CR-7/8 Plain Stud Cam Follower 7/8 in

Product Description

The ACCURATE BUSHING CR-7/8 is a plain stud cam follower designed for use in cam and track roller applications in industrial machinery. It features a 7/8-inch roller diameter with a non-crowned, steel roller supported by a needle roller bearing, providing high load capacity in a compact form factor. The stud measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 7/8 inches in length with a 3/8-24 threaded end. Dynamic load capacity is rated at 2,140 pounds and static load capacity at 2,260 pounds. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of follower in cam-driven linkages, conveyor systems, and automation equipment.

This cam follower is suited for light- to medium-duty industrial applications where a stud-mounted, unsealed roller is acceptable. Typical installations include cam-actuated mechanisms, slide guides, and track followers in manufacturing and automation environments. The unsealed design makes it appropriate for clean or controlled environments where external contamination is not a primary concern. Its compact roller width of 0.5 inches allows fitment in space-constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Needle roller bearing construction supports high radial load in a small envelope
• 2,140-pound dynamic load capacity and 2,260-pound static load capacity
• Non-crowned steel roller reduces edge stress on flat tracks
• 3/8-24 threaded stud for positive mechanical retention
• Slotted head type allows torque application during installation
• Unsealed design suited for clean, controlled operating environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation stud cam follower for industrial cam-driven and track roller assemblies requiring a 7/8-inch roller diameter with a 3/8-24 stud thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all machinery before replacing cam followers per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use the slotted head to apply appropriate torque to the stud without damaging the roller. Do not over-tighten the stud, as this can induce preload on the bearing and reduce service life. Inspect the mating track or cam surface for wear before installing a replacement follower.
