| Series | Product Type | Key Features | Typical Applications | Representative Models |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CR-XB-SS Series | Stainless Steel Stud Type Cam Follower | Manufactured from high-quality 440 stainless steel with needle roller construction and double seals. Offers excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and optional food-grade lubrication for hygienic environments. | Food processing equipment, packaging machinery, conveyor systems, pharmaceutical equipment, washdown applications | CR-1-XB-SS, CR-1-1/2-XB-SS, CR-2-XB-SS |
| CR-XBC-SS Series | Crowned Stud Type Cam Follower | Features a crowned outer ring that compensates for slight shaft or rail misalignment, reducing edge stress and extending bearing life under dynamic conditions. | Automation systems, guide rails, conveyor tracks, cam mechanisms, packaging lines | CR-1-XBC-SS, CR-1-1/2-XBC-SS, CR-2-XBC-SS |
| YR-X-SS Series | Stainless Steel Yoke Roller | Yoke-mounted design provides greater structural rigidity and load capacity than stud-type followers. Built with corrosion-resistant stainless steel for demanding environments. | Heavy-duty conveyors, linear guide systems, lifting equipment, industrial automation | YR-1-X-SS, YR-1-1/2-X-SS, YR-2-X-SS |
| YR-XC-SS Series | Crowned Yoke Roller | Combines the rigidity of a yoke roller with a crowned outer diameter to minimize edge loading caused by installation inaccuracies or rail deflection. | Precision guide rails, automated production lines, material handling systems, transfer equipment | YR-1-XC-SS, YR-1-1/2-XC-SS, YR-2-XC-SS |
| HR-XB-SS Series | Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Stud Type Cam Follower | Reinforced stud construction provides superior bending strength and shock resistance, making it ideal for high-load and high-impact applications. | Steel processing equipment, heavy conveyors, construction machinery, industrial automation | HR-1-XB-SS, HR-2-XB-SS, HR-3-XB-SS |
| HR-XBC-SS Series | Heavy-Duty Crowned Stud Type Cam Follower | Combines heavy-duty stud strength with a crowned outer ring for enhanced load distribution, improved alignment tolerance, and extended service life. | Mining equipment, port machinery, heavy-duty transfer systems, large automation equipment | HR-1-XBC-SS, HR-2-XBC-SS, HR-3-XBC-SS |
| BCR-XB-SS Series | Stainless Steel Stud Type with Engineered Polymer Bushing | Replaces needle rollers with a self-lubricating engineered polymer bushing, providing maintenance-free operation, corrosion resistance, and quiet performance. | Food machinery, beverage production lines, cleanroom automation, low-speed conveyors | BCR-1-XB-SS, BCR-2-XB-SS, BCR-3-XB-SS |
| BCR-XBC-SS Series | Crowned Polymer Bushing Stud Type Cam Follower | Integrates a self-lubricating polymer bushing with a crowned outer profile to reduce maintenance while accommodating slight misalignment. | Packaging equipment, filling machines, washdown systems, automated conveying applications | BCR-1-XBC-SS, BCR-2-XBC-SS, BCR-3-XBC-SS |
| BYR-X-SS Series | Stainless Steel Yoke Roller with Polymer Bushing | Yoke-type design combined with a maintenance-free polymer bushing delivers smooth operation without periodic lubrication, making it ideal for clean environments. | Pharmaceutical equipment, food conveyors, light-duty guide systems, packaging machinery | BYR-1-X-SS, BYR-2-X-SS, BYR-3-X-SS |
| BYR-XC-SS Series | Crowned Polymer Bushing Yoke Roller | Features both a crowned outer ring and self-lubricating polymer bushing, offering low maintenance, reduced edge loading, and reliable performance in corrosive environments. | Automated guide systems, beverage equipment, hygienic processing lines, light industrial conveyors | BYR-1-XC-SS, BYR-2-XC-SS, BYR-3-XC-SS |
