The CF 16 is a cam follower bearing (CF series), with a 16mm bore, 35mm outer diameter, and 18mm width. Bearings of this type generally use a full complement roller design—dropping the cage frees up space for more rollers, which helps support heavier radial loads; depending on the actual operating conditions, it can also carry a certain degree of axial load. You'll typically find it in cam mechanisms, guide and track surfaces, and conveying or drive assemblies—positions where the outer ring rolls directly against a cam or track. Whether it fits your case still depends on your load direction and running conditions.
A cam follower behaves a little differently from a standard bearing—its outer ring runs directly on the cam or track, so the contact surface, whether the load is continuous or shock-type, and the running speed often matter more than dimensions alone. The full complement design is strong on load capacity, but it's also more sensitive to speed and lubrication conditions. The 16/35/18mm of the CF 16 is fixed; the real question is how it behaves in your mechanism. If you can share the speed, load direction, and lubrication/environment conditions, we can help assess it further—suitability still needs to be confirmed against actual operating conditions.
When we receive CF-series enquiries, the first things we usually need to clarify are: whether the load is mainly radial or also axial, whether the motion runs smoothly or with shock, and the temperature and lubrication of the environment. With those, we can give you a more grounded read on whether the CF 16 is a match, or evaluate whether a different size or structure would suit better. If you already have a model number, drawing, or sample, feel free to include it—it gets the evaluation to the point faster. ISK Bearings is IATF 16949 certified, and our support covers specification confirmation and custom integration to help you get this selection step right.
If you're selecting a follower bearing for a cam mechanism or guide track, or evaluating an alternative supply option, share your application scenario along with load and speed conditions. We'll help assess whether the CF 16 fits, or suggest a more suitable option.
