Cam Follower Installation Procedure
The H9 thru H32 (.287” thru 1.00” diameter) Cam Followers require a Steel Ball/Set Screw
and an insertion gage for installation. The steel ball/set screw is used to anchor the cam
followers to the follower wheel and the insertion gage kit is used to insure proper
installation. The new cam followers need to be pressed onto the follower wheel to the
position prescribed by the gage (if they are pressed in too far, the will not turn freely).
Cam Follower Installation Procedure
1. Obtain spare parts kit, cam followers and insertion gage kit.
2. Select proper insertion gage. The spot-faced type gage should be used if the cam
follower mounting surface is spot-faced. If no spot face is present, the flatted type gage
should be used (see gage illustration, above).
3. Place insertion gage around the outer diameter of the cam follower while pressing onto
the follower wheel.
4. Refer to the following chart to determine if the steel ball and set screw or the set screw
only* should be used for anchoring the cam follower. The anchoring hardware may not
always align exactly with the groove on the cam follower but it will always align within an
acceptable range. The cup point style set screw is always required.
* If steel balls and set screws were supplied with the original unit, continue using steel balls and set screws
(reuse original set or use set provided in the spare parts kit).
