Engineered to support high radial loads and repeated shock loads, cam followers are widely used in industrial machinery, automation systems, and material handling equipment where precision, durability, and long service life are essential. These track rollers feature a thick-walled outer ring that reduces deformation under load and maintains high load capacity over time. They are available with needle roller bearings or cylindrical rollers, in both caged and full-complement designs. The outer ring profile, either cylindrical or crowned, helps compensate for misalignment and minimizes contact stress, improving running performance on sliding surfaces. A lubrication hole positioned beneath the rolling elements enables efficient relubrication, extending bearing life and reducing maintenance requirements. Cam followers are available in both stud type and yoke type configurations, with options such as an eccentric collar for precise radial adjustment during installation. Advanced sealing solutions ensure effective protection against contaminants and long-lasting grease retention.

Locknuts
Locknuts
Locknuts and rings are engineered for applications where precision clamping and powerful, safe locking are critical requirements, and for the adjustment and clamping of all types of bearings. The original clamping system is built around a threaded clamping spring wired EDM on the nut or ring body. When the grub screws are tightened, very strong pressure is applied onto this threaded spring, which meshes precisely into the corresponding threads of the shaft or spindle. This interlocking action delivers an exceptionally secure and stable hold, effectively eliminating the risk of unintended loosening even under the most demanding operating conditions. These products are widely adopted across technologically demanding industries, including nuclear, automotive, textile, and printing. The range is available in multiple configurations: radial or axial clamping, in standard, balanced, and heavy-duty variants. Nuts and rings can be installed and removed without any loss of precision, and custom configurations are available upon request, including alternative materials, left-hand threads, and other tailored specifications.

myRollon is Rollon’s digital working platform designed to simplify the selection and configuration of linear and rotary motion solutions. It enables users to identify the most suitable motion system based on their specific application requirements, enhancing design precision and efficiency.

By centralizing essential tools and resources in a unified environment, myRollon empowers users to access all necessary services and information — saving time and boosting productivity in search of high-performance motion solutions.
