Track Roller Bearings & Cam Followers: Key Components for Smooth, Reliable Motion

KZ Track Bearings: Engineered for Smooth, Reliable Motion

In today’s fast-moving industrial world, efficiency and precision are essential. Whether it's automated machinery, conveyor systems, or robotics, every component needs to work seamlessly. That’s where KZ Track Bearings step in — designed to provide dependable motion guidance, load support, and long-lasting performance in the toughest environments.

🔧 What Are Track Bearings?

Track bearings, also known as track rollers, are specialized bearings that run along tracks or cam profiles, guiding motion in linear or rotational directions. They feature a thick-walled outer ring designed to handle heavy radial loads, shock, and misalignment. KZ track bearings are built for strength, speed, and durability, making them essential in high-performance machinery.

🛠️ KZ Track Bearing Types and Series

At KZ Bearing, we offer two primary categories of track bearings to meet various industrial requirements:

✅ 1. Stud Type Track Rollers (Cam Followers)

Stud Type Track Rollers, commonly known as Cam Followers, are compact, self-contained bearings designed for applications requiring guided motion, high radial loads, and reliable performance. These bearings feature an integral stud for easy mounting and a thick-walled outer ring that handles shock and impact exceptionally well. Ideal for automated systems, conveyors, and cam drives, KZ Stud Type Track Rollers offer smooth, consistent operation even under demanding industrial conditions.

These come with an integrated stud (shaft) for easy installation on machine surfaces.

Popular Series:

• KR Series – Standard cam followers
• KRV Series – Full complement type for higher load
• NUKR Series – Heavy-duty version
• PWKR Series – With cage for high-speed operations

✅ 2. Yoke Type Track Rollers

Yoke Type Track Rollers are heavy-duty bearings designed to run on cam tracks, guide rails, or flat surfaces. Unlike stud type rollers, they feature a solid inner ring and are mounted on shafts or pins, offering greater stability and load-carrying capacity. KZ Yoke Type Track Rollers are built for high radial loads and oscillating movements, making them ideal for industrial automation, material handling, and heavy machinery applications. Their robust construction ensures long-lasting performance in tough environments.

These are mounted directly on shafts or pins and are ideal for applications requiring higher load capacity and support.

Popular Series:

• NUTR Series – Full complement rollers
• PWTR Series – With cage for reduced friction
• NNTR Series – Double-row cylindrical rollers

Each series is available with options like crowned or cylindrical outer rings, sealed or open designs, and various size ranges to meet specific demands.
