Synthetic Cam Runners

Osborn’s Cam Runners are manufactured with a composite synthetic tread and stainless steel stud.

The composite treads consists of two different synthetic materials chosen to provide optimal characteristics for the outer wear surface and the inner bearing surface.

The two synthetic parts are molded together to form a single mechanically bonded assembly that is mounted on the stud, eliminating the need for conventional seals and lubricants. The outer tread material offers high mechanical strength while the inner bearing material provides high lubricity.

The stud provides optimum life and corrosion resistance. Tread bearing wear is critically dependent on the hardness of the mating surface. When this assembly is used as a direct replacement for a conventional cam follower, the life will be optimized if the cam or other mating surface is within the range of 55-60 HRC. Softer or harder materials may result in decreased life, particularly under high loads. The mating surface must be free of grease, oil and abrasive contaminants.
