New Hyde Park, NY – SDP/SI – Stock
Drive Products/Sterling Instrument, a leader in comprehensive mechanical solutions
for a wide variety of product applications has expanded their product offering
with the introduction of a new series of Plastic Cam Followers. Cam Followers
using plastic composite rollers are a maintenance-free alternative to
traditional metal designs, providing cost-saving benefits.
Combining a Stainless Steel shaft and plastic-composite
roller these Cam Followers are designed to transmit motion in today’s
high-speed and light-duty machines in medical, packaging, and semi-conductor
equipment. “The plastic roller makes these Cam Followers the best choice for
many applications, including food processing or cleanroom operations”, says
Cris Ioanitescu, SDP/SI Applications Engineering Manager. “Two possible sources
of contamination – excess grease and metal particulates due to metal-on-metal
contact are eliminated due to the self-lubricating material of the roller.
Additionally, the softer plastic roller does not wear the metal cam or rail it
is running on. The savings of not having to replace these parts could be
substantial.”
